Using alarm() (for this) is pretty gross. Slightly better off would be to use timer_create() and friends. Even better would be to maintain a queue of interesting things in the future and manipulate the argument to pthread_cond_timedwait() so that we would wakeup the next time we needed to evaluate that queue. -- Configure bugmail: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
