Hi, I have to admit that this is perhaps not the best time to write this, late in the evening after work but... =)
A friend of mine recently started to develop things on Linux and got a bit confused since Linux lacks PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS which just about all other OS:es seems to implement. (Ok, so I have only googled a bit but it seems like all BSD:s has it since quite some time and the same goes for OS X and Windows) At first i thought that this should be somewhat simple to simulate using cgroups but there seems to be quite a overhead and a learning curve, while implementing this should be simpler because cgroups exist =) Using this, and thus only compete with your own processes, should make some multimedia applications easier to do and could be usable for other things as well, I did talk to some realtime people a while back and they were quite surprised that it was lacking... So, in conclusion is there a reason for this being missing or is it just a question of "show me the code"? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
