Hello, I have built a pth 1.3.7 library to work with the newlib C library. I had to modify the configure.in and Makefile.am such that I hard-wired (sjlj, sjlje, sas) and --enable-pthreads. I had noticed that the test for soft syscalls occurs before the test for pthreads so enable-pthreads=yes setting enable-soft-syscalls=yes seems to be too late.
Nevertheless, I have my build working and I can run the test_pthread.c application successfully on my i686 Red Hat Linux 7.1. Because I don't have soft syscalls, the test case runs each thread completely before starting another. I tried manually compiling the test_pthread.c case with -D_POSIX_THREAD_SYSCALL_SOFT to see what would happen. When I did, I got the following error: main: init main: initializing attribute object main: create thread 1 main: create thread 2 main: create thread 3 main: create thread 4 main: destroying attribute object child: startup foo child: startup bar child: startup baz child: startup quux **Pth** SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR: no more thread(s) available to schedule!?!? zsh: abort (core dumped) ./a.out Is this a known problem and if so, is there a fix in a subsequent release? I would have expected the scheduler to be prepared for all threads to be asleep at the same time. Is setting the flag at compile-time the wrong thing to do? -- Jeff J. ______________________________________________________________________ GNU Portable Threads (Pth) http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/ User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager (Majordomo) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
