You don't need a SMP machine to test threads. You just need one thread to do the function call, then another to do the function call and see if the two pointers are different. They calls don't have to happen at the same time. Ideally you could make call in the two threads with different arguments, then after both calls are completed, test that the two static areas have the proper _different_ values. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
