I think in a non preemptive system, the library cannot force the
application to
yield the CPU unless the application by itself does an yield.
Using "pth_cond_notify", a thread just wants to notify another thread
that,
an event has occurred and it doesn't mean that it should also relinquish the
CPU.
Its upto that thread whether to continue with the processing or not.
Is there any other call in Pth which can be used for sending a
notification
to a thread, without relinquishing the CPU ?
