OpenBSD's pthreads support setting priorities, however they don't
behave like many applications expect. I believe the issue is that higher
priority threads can completly starve lower priority threads. Apps like
mozilla*, Sun's jdk, etc don't expect that and thus have been patched
to not set thread priorities on OpenBSD. The same issue applies to kaffe.
hi Kurt,
thank you for the patch. I've checked it in now, and I'm really sorry
for the long delay.
No Worries. :-) Thanks for committing it.
Also sys/resource.h needs sys/types.h and sys/time.h on OpenBSD,
actually *BSD if I believe the man pages.
That one has been fixed meanwhile by another patch going in from
Riccardo, I believe.
With the following patches the intrp engine passes all but 6 regress
tests on OpenBSD/i386:
FAIL: DoubleIEEE.java
FAIL: WaitTest.java
FAIL: Preempt.java
FAIL: ProcessTest.java *
FAIL: wc.java
FAIL: CatchDeath.java
* Sometimes passes
cool. It could be nice to get an openbsd tinderbox up and running,
that'd build CVS head once per day, for example. See
for
details how to participate, if you have some spare cycles and cron time
to burn.
I gave tinderclient a try, but I need to specifiy some configure args like
--with-engine=intrp and --with-iconv-prefix=/usr/local. How do I get
tinderclient to pass them along?
The jit engine fails more and needs work on OpenBSD.
OK. It makes more sense to get intrp working first, and then to move
onto the jitter.
cheers,
