Hi , Does NPTL support PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS ? As per Threads FAQ information, PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS was not supported in LinuxThreads. Could not find any explicit information whether this holds good for NPTL. But from the design document of NPTL it seems the PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS value of the "contentionscope" attribute is not supported. I would appreciate if somebody pours some thoughts on this. Cheers From http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/faq.html ============================================================ LinuxThreads does not support the PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS value of the "contentionscope" attribute. Why? With a "one-to-one" model, as in LinuxThreads (one kernel execution context per thread), there is only one scheduler for all processes and all threads on the system. So, there is no way to obtain the behavior of PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL ? Something to write home about.
