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!
specifically:
uthread_accept.c: Fix for inherited socket not getting correct entry in
pthread flags.
uthread_create.c: Fix to allow pthread_t pointer return to be null if
caller doesn't care about return.
uthread_fd.c: Fix for return codes to be placed into correct errno.
uthread_init.c: Changes to make gcc-2.8 thread aware for exception stack
frames (WARNING: This is #ifdef'ed out by default and is
different from the Cygnus egcs fix).
uthread_ioctl.c: Fix for blocking/non-blocking ioctl.
uthread_kern.c: Signal handling fixes (only one case left to fix,
that of an externally sent SIGSEGV and friends -
a fairly unusual case).
uthread_write.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
uthread_writev.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
Pthreads now works well enough to run the LDAP and ACAPD(with the gcc 2.8 fix)
sample implementations.
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.
