I just upgraded a RH9 box to FC1. I then rebuilt a multi-threaded
program and tried to run it, but found some behaviors that don't make
sense to me. One of the threads sleeps on a conditional wait (
pthread_cond_wait(&my_cond, &my_mutex)), and when a different thread
calls pthread_cond_broadcast(&my_cond), I kind of expect the first
thread to wake it's shiny smiling face and do some work. But it
doesn't. Shouldn't it? It used to.
I have found some references to bugs in RH9 of people running into
"stalls" with similar stuff, but that never happened to me on RH9, so I
figured it ought to work on FC1 as well.
Any info? Can anyone confirm or deny that I'm doing something goofy? I
didn't really change anything, so if there's some other library I'm
supposed to link to or something, please lemme know. Or for anything
else too.
Thanks in advance,
-Charles
