Hi, I've added this little function to my copy of vm\thread.c, I attach it here so that Przemyslaw and/or Viktor can have a look at it and also because I'm not at ease with branching and so I don't know where to commit this change.
-----------8<-----------------
HB_FUNC( HB_THREADID )
{
#if defined( HB_MT_VM )
PHB_THREADSTATE pThread = ( PHB_THREADSTATE ) hb_vmThreadState();
if( pThread )
hb_retnl( pThread->th_id );
#endif
}
----------->8-----------------
I've added this function because I was still investigating a speed issue on my
pc and I've changed also tests\speedtst.prg so that it creates two threads
which do the work (instead of a single one).
Please note that my changes are just an ugly hack to make it work and see if
having a SMP kernel on a HT cpu gives any advantage when the work is splitted
between two cpus.
I attach the modified speedtst.prg to this message also, so that anybody can
have a look at it
Well, that said, total time went from 70 seconds to 59.9 :)
MT PIV 3.6GHZ HT, OS/2 SMP kernel
============================================================
0 - total application time: 59.87
total real time: 59.88
I,ve also noted that thread 1 has a threadid of 0 (zero) while the other
threads have the correct id, maybe this is a minor glitch to correct.
Best regards.
Maurilio.
PS. speedtst.log shows 60 seconds total time.
