Subject: Re: New snapshot 2004-05-16 available
Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 07:36:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1084779474.40a86bd279418@mail.atlantis.sk> (raw)
We are having problems compiling source from cvs:
- seems that ptw32_semwait.c was not added to the cvs
- PAPCFUNC isn't declared when _WIN32_WINNT isn't declared implement.h:449
- in pthreads_cancel.c:179, the thread->cancelLock isn't unlocked when
WaitForSingleObject returns anything else than WAIT_TIMEOUT (if it terminates
earlier during pthread_cancel)
