Message-ID: <199805150243.TAA10200@rtl.cygnus.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <199805122117.XAA01539@ocean.campus.luth.se>
I have read duscussions on the FreeBSD lists that EGCS have to be compiled
differently to handle threaded and non-threaded compilation, IIRC.
gcc does "gcc" or "gcc -pthread". That alone would make GCC lightyears
better then EGCS. Anything but a runtime option is just not even considerable.
Threads work basically the same way in EGCS that they do in gcc2, so this
sounds confused to me. There isn't any such difference between gcc2 and
egcs that I am aware of.
The exact thread support depends on the target system, and I don't know the
details for freebsd. Just using grep, I don't see any thread support in
the gcc2/egcs freebsd configure files. It is possible that FreeBSD is
using some thread support that hasn't been contributed back to the FSF yet
though. If that is true, then this has nothing to do with gcc vs egcs.
Any local gcc changes are of course not going to be in the FSF gcc2 or egcs
code.
Thread support is an optional feature than can be configured in or configured
out. However, that is necessary because not all operating systems support
threads by default. Some of them only support threads if optional OS
packages are installed. If thread support is configured in, and the target
requires different assembler/linker options for thread support, then there
will be a command line (runtime) option for threads. If the OS always
supports threads, then the gcc thread support can be enabled by default.
There is no problem here. EGCS does exactly what you want.
