he means calling threading functions in the child of a vfork() is not safe. having threads run otherwise is irrelevant.
I still don't understand. In a non MMU-system every process (sauf init) is a vfork child, so threading would be impossible.
attempting to mimic threading with vfork/clone is a useless exercise and completely not portable.
That is exactly what I meant.
hell, few people even understand the clone semantics and complete implications that go on inside of the pthread library let alone create their own version.
Yep. hopefully the pthread lib takes care of most portability issues. So I'm not intending to manually use clone(). -Michael _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
