[sane-devel] pros and cons regarding --enable-pthread for Linux

2010-08-26 Thread m. allan noah
Pthread is the default on other platforms because they generally don't let open usb device handles pass across a fork(). Since this works on Linux, and threads were so flaky all those years ago, non-threaded became the default for Linux. Honestly, I think it could be changed, but I don't think
