Good to see progress on the API issue. Steve Papacharalambous is right about using the pthread nomenclature with noo-POSIX APIS being a bad idea. The only contribution I wish to make is one about context: as I recall from Vienna there is a distinct difference between the RTAI task creation routine and the RTL one. The difference, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the RTL one *must* be called in the init_module whereas the RTAI one can be called anywhere. I prefer the latter as it is quite common for users to setup a fifo handling incoming (user) commands to stop/start/reset tasks etc. I want to know that the code can be used whereever I like. So, can we have a context attached to any call as to where it should be called and, more importantly, where it should *not* be called. +==================================================================+ Phil Daly, NOAO/AURA, 950 N.
