No ;-) We don't want to wrap functions unecessarily. Applications not linked to a thread library still have to use the actual syscall, so there's no point in wrapping extra functions just to make sigprocmask() faster when linked with libpthread. -- DE _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
