A customer had a small program using pthreads that crashed pretty much at startup. After verifying the crash on my system, I noticed that the customer had not linked the program with libpthread. Adding -lpthread to the linking command fixed the problem.
If a program does not link a needed library, shouldn't it fail at link time? As it is, the program links and loads, but crashes mysteriously. Why is this a good idea? Why are there entry points in /lib/libc.so.1 for pthread functions, but not the pthread functionality? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
