[Gianluca]

Please is it possible to put in ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/dll-
latest the builds for BCB too?

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

I am not sure if pthreads-win32 is officially supported under Builder.  I
have a project which builds it under BCB5.  However, CodeGuard tells me that
there are some leaks.  I don't know if pthreads-win32 actually has leaks, or
this is a Builder problem.

Finally, I am a C++ programmer, and my wrappers on top of pthreads-win32 may
not be anything that you want.

Not 'officially' supported, but Will Bryant contributed patches and a 
makefile for BCB (see 'Bmakefile' in the source and tests folders - also 
README.Borland). I'm about to run them again to see where they get to 
(I'm in Linux right now on a dual-boot machine). I'm pretty sure the dll 
builds ok, but I don't recall if it passed all the tests.

Assuming that leaks have not recently been added, the library has been 
screened several times in the past by others, and their patches, if any, 
have been applied. So the library should be clean, but if you can track 
those leaks down it would be appreciated. If it helps, the very first 
test in the 'tests' folder prints a list of all the pthreads-win32 
structs and their sizes. This test was added a while back for this purpose.

Regards.

It builds cleanly, thx, but I'm currently seeing random segfaults in the 
new mutex code when I use them in one of my libraries' multithreading 
tests.  Still trying to track it down; I'll hopefully be posting some 
more info in the next couple of days.

FWIW if there is indeed a problem with the new mutex code, that could 
explain the other problems ppl have been posting about in the last day.

Cheers,
Will
