Hyperthreading problem creates a hang
Hi folks , I am hitting the following problem while using gmake :- 617 [exiting thread] gmake 9576 cygthread::stub: erroneous thread activation , name is NULL . Now I am indeed using an old cygwin version and can not update it due to dependency issues . Do you have a workaround for this problem ? As per my understanding this problem will not be seen if we limit the maximum number of threads for a process on cygwin (this will of course make it slower , but that is fine ) . Am I Correct ? If yes , how can we do it for cygwin ? Thanks for all your help. Thanks and Regards, Paritosh -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I never expected a performance improvement beyond that number of threads. If you don't mean make which comes with cygwin, I don't see how you will get help without explaining your question. -- Tim Prince -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Given that, I'd say the odds are slim to none that you'll be able to find a fix for this problem. Time to upgrade. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
