I found the problem with IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED macro on AIX which caused it to bomb in testsock. The patch below should fix it.
$ diff network_io/unix/sockaddr.c.orig network_io/unix/sockaddr.c 70a71,79 > /* work around broken AIX implementation */ > #ifdef _AIX > #undef IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED > #define IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED(a) \ > ((((a)->s6_addr32)[0] == 0) && \ > (((a)->s6_addr32)[1] == 0) && \ > (((a)->s6_addr32)[2] == 0x0000ffff)) > #endif The reason it bombed is that on AIX the macro IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED expands to IS_IPV4ADDR6 (shown below) which tests last 4 bytes to see if it is not zero. We only want to know if IPV4 is mapped into IPV6, and we dont care what IPV4 is. Hence the last test in the macro should not matter. #define IS_IPV4ADDR6(a) \ (((a).s6_addr32[0] == 0) && \ ((a).s6_addr32[1] == 0) && \ ((a).s6_addr32[2] == 0x0000ffff) && \ ((a).s6_addr32[3] != 0)) Here is test result on AIX 5.3: APR Lock Performance Test ============== apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 1 threads OK microseconds: 449099 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 1 threads OK microseconds: 598798 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 1 threads OK microseconds: 1390693 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 2 threads OK microseconds: 1599206 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 2 threads OK microseconds: 2049028 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 2 threads OK microseconds: 2823894 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 3 threads OK microseconds: 1662840 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 3 threads OK microseconds: 1350141 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 3 threads OK microseconds: 2000922 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 4 threads OK microseconds: 1765885 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 4 threads OK microseconds: 1857919 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 4 threads OK microseconds: 2850588 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 5 threads OK microseconds: 2216577 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 5 threads OK microseconds: 2237820 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 5 threads OK microseconds: 3311527 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (UNNESTED) OK Starting 6 threads OK microseconds: 2825558 usec apr_thread_mutex_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_mutex_t (NESTED) OK Starting 6 threads OK microseconds: 2712670 usec apr_thread_rwlock_t Tests Initializing the apr_thread_rwlock_t OK Starting 6 threads OK microseconds: 3977302 usec Trying proc mutexes with mechanism `default'...
