Hi,

Should this be on ports@?  I'm not working on a port...

TL;DR:
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to work around not having
pthread_mutexattr_setpshared in the OpenBSD pthreads library?

Have you tried searching the ports tree patch files for mention of the 
function. You may find a real world example of a workaround.

DETAILS:
I wanted to see if Apache Guacamole would compile on OpenBSD to server
as a remote desktop gateway.

It hasn't been too hard to get it to the final linking step.

I am getting an "undefined reference to `pthread_mutexattr_setpshared'":

     ../../src/libguac/.libs/libguac.so.17.0: undefined reference to
     `pthread_mutexattr_setpshared'
     collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
     *** Error 1 in src/guacenc (Makefile:565 'guacenc': @echo " CCLD
     " guacenc;/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -s...)
     *** Error 1 in . (Makefile:556 'all-recursive')
     *** Error 1 in /home/steve/src/guacamole-server-1.1.0 (Makefile:453
     'all')


When I look at some of the code using pthread_mutexattr_setpshared, it's
not #ifdef'd or anything, so I think it's pretty much mandatory code.

pool.c:

     guac_pool* guac_pool_alloc(int size) {

          pthread_mutexattr_t lock_attributes;
          guac_pool* pool = malloc(sizeof(guac_pool));

          /* If unable to allocate, just return NULL. */
          if (pool == NULL)
              return NULL;

          /* Initialize empty pool */
          pool->min_size = size;
          pool->active = 0;
          pool->__next_value = 0;
          pool->__head = NULL;
          pool->__tail = NULL;

          /* Init lock */
          pthread_mutexattr_init(&lock_attributes);

          pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&lock_attributes,
     PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED);
     //^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          pthread_mutex_init(&(pool->__lock), &lock_attributes);


It looks like this is a posix (of some version) function:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_mutexattr_setpshared.html

An "appropos" search in the OpenBSD man pages for "pthread_mutexattr"
returned:
https://man.openbsd.org/man3/pthread_mutexattr.3

This function is definitely missing...

I tried to see if there was a way to use pthread_mutexattr_settype to
accomplish the same thing, but got lost in the maze of documentation.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to work around not having
pthread_mutexattr_setpshared in the OpenBSD pthreads library?

Thanks,

Hi,

Great idea to check the ports tree patch files!

I will start to look through these and see how they are handling things.   I have deleted all the lines returned for posixtestsuite port.

$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep pthread_mutexattr_setpshared | tee /tmp/shared.out

./databases/virtuoso/patches/patch-libsrc_Thread_sched_pthread_c: rc = pthread_mutexattr_setpshared (&_mutex_attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE); ./databases/virtuoso/patches/patch-libsrc_Thread_sched_pthread_c: rc = pthread_mutexattr_setpshared (&_mutex_attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE); ./databases/virtuoso/patches/patch-libsrc_Thread_sched_pthread_c: rc = pthread_mutexattr_setpshared (&_attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE); ./devel/lam/patches/patch-config_lam_mutex_pshared_m4:   if (pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&mattr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED)) return(1); ./textproc/sphinx/patches/patch-src_sphinxstd_cpp:-     iRes = pthread_mutexattr_setpshared ( &tAttr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED ); ./textproc/sphinx/patches/patch-src_sphinxstd_cpp:- m_sError.SetSprintf ( "pthread_mutexattr_setpshared, errno = %d", iRes ); ./x11/kde4/libs/files/ConfigureChecks.cmake:    if (pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED) == -1) { ./x11/kde4/libs/files/ConfigureChecks.cmake: printf(\"pthread_mutexattr_setpshared failed: %s\", strerror(errno)); ./x11/kde4/libs/patches/patch-kdecore_util_kshareddatacache_p_h: if (pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&mutexAttr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED) == 0 &&
