Next little program:

if (pthread_mutexattr_init(&t)) return 1;

std::cout << pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(&t, &i) << std::endl;
}
always print 22. It means that pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling always
fails with EINVAL. Under Linux this example works fine, but under
FreeBSD 7.2 it does`n work. Is it a bug in FreeBSD thread library or
it ai my misunderstanding?
Well, you can't get the priority ceiling of a _mutex_ if
it the protocol is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE. See the POSIX spec,
excerpt here (pthread_mutex_getprioceiling):
These functions shall fail if:
[EINVAL]
The protocol attribute of mutex is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE.
POSIX makes no mention of this for operations on a mutex attribute,
but I have no idea why it wouldn't have the same error returned
under similar conditions.
Why would you want to get the priority ceiling of a mutex
attribute that is not PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT? What value
could the implementation return in this case anyway, it
really doesn't make sense?
