Hi Victor,
You're correct, there is dynamic memory allocation in the pthreads
package, but it makes use of pre-allocated chunks of memory during the
real time phases. These chunks of memory are replenished and/or
released when the real time components are inactive, and so the impact
on speed and determinism is minimal. There are no calls made to
allocate or deallocate memory from the Linux kernel during real time
operation,
Best regards,
Steve
