IIRC pthread wasn't fully implemented until solaris 8.. but maybe they backported it to the older versions. I don't really know. ... I believe pthreads works fine in 2.6 -- I've heard people claim it worked better there than in later versions. (2.6 being the last 32-bit only system gave it a certain advantage in terms of stability...) I don't know of any reason to avoid it. The only solaris thread stuff I can find (in 1.5.12) is in lwp.c -- conditioned by the manifest USE_SOLARIS_THREADS which is apparently only turned on in the apparently defunct src/lwp/NTMake9x . I think you can pull all that old USE_SOLARIS_THREADS and not have any problems. There may be one other thing that matters - maybe. In a copy of openafs 1.2.10 for solaris 8 that I seem to have just had sitting around, there's one solaris threads call left -- thr_yield() calls. rx_pthread.h defined pthread_yield to be various things on different systems - this appears to be one area where pthread isn't really a standard, and thr_yield happened to be the winner on solaris. This is apparently still true today. I think this can be chalked up as a generic known OS issue with pthreads, not a specific problem with ancient solaris. -Marcus ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
