In-Reply-To: Your message of "Mon, 19 Feb 1996 11:10:41 PST." <9602191910.AA14798@gnu.mc.xerox.com> Date: Mon, 19 Feb 1996 20:22:52 EST From: Christopher Provenzano The last time I communicated with HJ he was planning on making the Linux C library thread safe and take and distributing a release of pthreads with it. Eventually I would make a compile option for pthreads to only compile the thread routines that would be a drop in replacement for the pthread library supplied. This way the Linux C library and pthreads could continue development separately. (Similar work is also underway for NetBSD and FreeBSD.) My distribution of pthreads will continue to ship a different variant of a thread safe C library based on the BSD C library. There are some differences between the two C libraries so you should pick one and stick with it and know what the differences are. The biggest one I know of is how we deal with routines that have static data. I supply routines that use thread specific data and new _r variants whereas HJ only supplies the _r variants. CAP
