I see. In that case, I'd suggest moving the line outside of main() (somewhere near the top of the file where other statics go), and adding a comment saying that the threads reference this data, so we can't just pass them a pointer to something on main()'s stack. Otherwise, I don't think it serves its intended educational function. It's just another obscure "now why did they do that?" blip in the source base. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
