Oops.  My sincere apologies to Richard Seaman (whom I actually
meant - is it who or whom?).  Derek is another fellow who
happens to have the same last name.

Sorry again,

I've got some stale patches for it which I'll bring up to
date.  But to implement the POSIX cancelable functions
correctly will take some hacking of libc.  I can do this
also, but it needs further discussion as to how it _should_
be done.

See the -hackers and -current mailing list archives, and
pay particular attention to Derek Seaman's posts.

You should search the mailing list archives (probably -hackers and
-current) for previous posts.

Some work needs to be done to libc in order to properly support
POSIX thread cancellation points.  I think Richard Seaman volunteered
to do this :-)

I've got some stale patches to add pthread_cancel and friends to
libc_r, but they will not support the POSIX mandated thread
cancellation points without changes to libc.

pthread_cancel ?

1999-05-20 Thread Pascal Hofstee
Hi,

I am currently having the author of the SDL-library on my box trying to
cook up a port of the SDL-library for FreeBSD.

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is the library used by Loki Software to
build CIV:CTP

As I have seen now the entire library works perfectly ;-)

except for one thing  FreeBSD's pthread-implementation (libc_r)
doesn't seem to have the pthread_cancel  method(s) implemented .. which
make the threaded part of the library mallfunction ...

My question is if there is any likely support considdered on adding those
additional function calls to FreeBSD's PTHREAD implementation ?
