Hi all,

I'm using pthreads as a basis for investigating the applicability of
speculative and optimistic execution to OO programs.

I need to determine the following;
   1) The time duration of each thread that is ever
      created in the system.
   2) Thread-switching and synchronisation overheads (exact timing).

Could someone please advise me as to how best this can be done, and where-
abouts I need hack the source code.


Thanks in advance.

Umesh.
