Cool, so I think this patch touches on something that we need to consider for the future - HPUX support. Today, we can't test this, and we are really shooting blind in our support for it. I've already opened this ticket to drop 32bit: https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/issue/49365 I think that for 1.4.x we should drop HPUX support also. This would limit our support to: * x86_64 * aarch64 * ppc64 (le) And for OS this would put us at: 100% support of Linux Partial support for FreeBSD Someone is working on re-adding Solaris With that in mind, I think that given this atomic wrapper exists *just* for hpux perhaps this patch should *only* be in 1.3.7 branch? I'd like to see it cleaned out/reverted for 1.4.x. perhaps. We have a lot of old legacy support, and I think we really need to take a clearer line on what we do and don't support, and we need to cleanup these shim layers because they *do* add overheads. -- Sincerely, William Brown Software Engineer Red Hat, Australia/Brisbane
