it was. Add a FILE_WAIT state and queue threads waiting for a FILE
lock. Start using the sys/queue.h macros instead of the way that MIT
pthreads did it.
Add a thread name to the private thread structure and a non-POSIX
function to set this. This helps (me at least) when sending a SIGINFO
to a threaded process to get a /tmp/uthread.dump to see what the
<expletive deleted> threads are doing this time. It is nice to be
able to recognise (yes, I spell that with an 's' too) which threads
are which.
threads from invalid ones. The pthread structure is opaque to the user
so this change does not cause any incompatibilities.
Hopefully this change will help code that was written for draft 4
fail gracefully if the programmer ignores the compiler warning about
the change in the level of indirection for the argument passed to
pthread_detach(). I got burnt, so I fixed then (expletive deleted)
thing.
These functions comply with the revised standard. That should shut
Terry up!
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
