From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: M Dipperstein To: cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Threads Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 06:32:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-02/msg00051.html There have been several postings to the list which discuss pthreads and the lack of "thread safety" in cygwin. I was hoping somebody would clarify the statement that cygwin is not thread safe. I'm developing a thread package from the QuickThreads primitives. The final target is not cygwin, but it's a great tool for development along the way. So far, there seem to be no problems using the QuickThreads primitives in code compiled with gcc under cygwin. Are the only concerns regarding thread safety related to non-reentrant code in the cygwin libraries? If that's the only problem, I think I don't have to worry. The thread package I'll be working with is cooperative, and will not allow for library routines to be reentered before they have returned. -Mike -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
