Hi, We have a long-running issue related to pthread use in SANE backends. See here: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/153
I proposed a change to sanei_thread to try to sort some of these issues while improving detection of builds that abuse the restrictions surrounding pthread_t values. That proposal is here: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/merge_requests/750
Povilas and I had some discussions about this solution and given the impending release of 1.2.1, someone has expressed a desire to see these issues solved, particularly as they relate to MacOS, which is properly broken at the moment. :(
Could I get some further comments on the proposed solution and I would especially appreciate if we could see some testing of that branch solution on platforms other than Linux?
Cheers, Ralph
