Hello, I had a discussion here once with Jakub J about fibrils and threads. I was told that I can use threads with fibrils, but only as execution containers. How would I do it then? What I tried is creating new thread and right in the entry point of the thread I call fibril_switch(FIBRIL_FROM_DEAD). This seems to work, but when I test it more, I run into strange things starting with occasional page faults and ending with kernel panic, when trying to kill a process that only started 2 threads (1 call to thread_create), but is reporting 3 in the top application.
If I have more threads running some fibrils are sync primitives from fibril_synch still good enough to protect shared memory? I'm asking to rule out option that I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. Because if this is valid way to use threads and fibrils I probably have a race condition in my code that I can't find. Thank you for every hint, Jan
