So perhaps you should try posix style semaphores.. Forcing posix/pthreads both
at compile time and at run time..
db-4.7.25 has been build with --enable-posixmutexes
--enable-pthread_api
I use ../dist/configure --disable-java --enable-posixmutexes
--with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads --enable-largefile --enable-cxx
--with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads is important as it selects posix mutex at
runtime, not compile time.
I don't think that this configure option is necessary on linux, as
libpthread is the default AFAIK.
from configure --help:
--with-mutex=MUTEX Select non-default mutex implementation.
The default on Linux is "hybrid" which means spinlocks and pthread locks. The
spinlocks are extremely CPU intensive and have shown no benefit in our
testing. You should always use --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads. This has already
been discussed on this list before. Please read the archives instead of
posting redundant posts.
2.4.14 was released days ago. Please change the subject from "2.4.14
prerelease" if you're going to continue replying to these threads.
