Thanks, I did not realize there were actually more internal synchronization primitives implemented on top of lll. I will send out a new version shortly. > Even if for now they are actually locks and not rwlocks, the day we fix > that the rwlocking of dl_pthread_threads_lock will get fixed alongside. May I ask, why are rwlocks unimplemented? Is it just that nobody has done the work, or are there some unobvious complications? I'm asking because I happen to have an implementation of rwlocks [0] that works (passes the test) on the Hurd. It makes use of futex bitsets (which don't seem to be supported by gsync), but seems to work just fine without them. And HTL of course has its own rwlocks implementation. Would it make sense to me to spend some time to try and write a __libc_rwlock based on them, or are there some obstacles?
