great effort on pthreads robert. i hope to check out the features this weekend. cheers, edward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Collins" <robert DOT collins AT itdomain DOT com DOT au> To: <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com> Cc: <cygwin-apps AT cygwin DOT com>; <cygwin-xfree AT cygwin DOT com> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 2:47 AM Subject: pthreads support Firstly I hope no-one gets annoyed at the cross post - but I know that not everyone on cygwin/xfree us on cygwin.com and vice versa. I believe the same goes for cygwin-apps.... I'm very interested in fixing what I consider a problem: People attempting to use non-cygwin threads support with cygwin1.dll linked applications. As such I'm hereby solicting bug reports (with _small_ test cases) for the pthreads support in cygwin. I'm making no promises about actually fixing anything or time frames - My paid work and personal life do come before cygwin (shock & horror). Notwithstanding that, I have recently fixed a chunk of functionality in cygwin for another opensource project I hack on (squid) and it's pthread based asynchronous disk module runs quite happily. So if you're an application porter, and pthreads doesn't work for you - contact me on the appropriate cygwin list (cygwin-apps unless it's xfree86 related, in which case cygwin-xfree, or cygwin-developers if you are trying to use pthread support within cygwin1.dll and it's broken). Chris: I hope I'm not stepping across a line here ... but no-one seems to have current "ownership" of pthreads, and I'd like to see cygwin actually get fixed rather than a plethora of workarounds created..
