Hello!
Is it safe to use pthreads and native threads in the same program?
For example, create pthread and call thr_self() inside its routine?
I suspect that pthreads are implemented as wrapper above native threads.
I tried to check this in the source, but libpthread and libthread
contain some undefined stuff. Where should I have looked for? Maybe
in kernel sources?
These routines are completely interoperable... you can use any
mixture, any time. Do keep in mind that this is not a portable
construction (to other operating systems)...
Both pthread* and thr* end up calling the same underlying
functions, sometimes they _are_ the same function:
