If you need one per thread, and you may have as many threads as CPUs, what will you do when you first encounter a 1024 CPU machine? How does this solution scale at all with time? I agree that matching Linux is potentially a worthwhile target just for the "me too" and "don't worry so much about porting" aspects, but I don't think the "my application needs a signal per thread" argument holds a great deal of water. It just sounds like the application has unresolved design issues. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj at workingcode.com>
