By this logic if have no fork and no threads, so pp_fork() would DIE?
Yes. It's acceptable for perl's fork operator not to work on a given
platform's perl port
If so, the ithreads (i am new to perl, so may be have to call it just
threads. i mean, not 5005threads) could be configured.
The problem is that implementation of ithreads also calling
Perl_my_fork(), where no thread flow without HAS_FORK?
This is beyond my knowledge of how things work, so I'm afraid I can't really
help you further in working out how to make this work.
What platform are you porting to?
Nicholas Clark
It is porting on embedded Linux w/o MMU.
I am asking cause you told about configuration option of using vfork.
Does it change usage of fork() to vfork()?
