No, there's one more criterion: And those special actions make the library unsuitable for use in programs not compiled to use threads. For example, on Debian *all* libraries are compiled with -D_REENTANT -fPIC. Anything else would be a major headache for the distribution. It causes a 3-5% performance drop on i386 and much less on other architectures. However then all libraries are suitable for use in both threaded and non-threaded applications. There may still be some architectures out there where two versions are needed. But I'm not aware of any. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
