No, I meant a simple fact that Solaris provides weak definition for both _pthread and pthread symbols. I assumed you have seen the pthread definition in libc since you brought that example up. I apologize if 'weak' got omitted from my message and got you confused. In another message: > The only thing that we don't do that Solaris does, is provide weak > pthread_ definitions in libc. I'm not opposed to that; I'm opposed > to providing strong pthread_ definitions either in libc or libc_r. Then we are in complete agreement. Adding weak aliases for pthread symbols is what I mean under following Solaris all the way. > We've been using it that long without any problems until now. But loading libc_r linked libraries into non-threaded processes din't work ever since libc_r got split from libc. This is a weird case which does not happen a lot in the wild anyway. -- Alexander Kabaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
