Story: Tracing framework expect u4 as an id of thread pthread_t chosen as a tread id for variety of BSD platforms couldn't be converted to u4 so it cause compilation failure on BSD x64 Solution: Change thread_id to pid_t and get this id directly from kernel, the same manner as Linux code does. Mac Os X still uses mach_port instead of thread id. Tested on FreeBSD and OpenBSD and also code passed jprt. -Dmitry -- Dmitry Samersoff Oracle Java development team, Saint Petersburg, Russia * I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the sources.
