The Autoconf Archive (ac-archive.sf.net) has a few macros for detecting all the different versions of pthreads if you want to try and implement this. > I've seen that JanosVM 1.0 includes a new > threading system, jthreads2, would it make sense to merge it in, and use > it instead of jthreads where possible? Maybe, it won't be anymore portable than jthreads1 since it still uses a lot of the same *_OFFSET stuff, and it has a lot of code for JanosVM-specific stuff (resource control, multiple schedulers). On the good side, i think it is a bit more robust and has a cleaner structure. > cheers, > dalibor topic tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
