-LIBPTHREAD
-
- This is the pthread implementation of dietlibc.
- Written from scratch by Olaf Dreesen.
-
-1. STATUS: incomplete but should work (or not... I had a lot of heisen-bugs...)
- On non i386 archs the kernel header have major differences...
- NO workaround yet for this problems...
-
-It's like linuxthreads a clone base thread implementation.
-
-I have implemented a "Manager Thread" with all the pain it involves...
-Nested thread creation is now working fine...
-
-
-2. HOW-TO make this lib:
-
- 1. generate the dietlibc in the parent directory.
- and make sure you have WANT_THREAD_SAVE active in the file:
- dietfeatures.h
-
- 2. change back here and type make
-
- and then you should have a libpthread.a
-
-
-3. NOTES
-
-NON STANDARD SIGNAL HANDLING for the threads:
-
- SIGHUP the targeted thread is canceled
- depends on the cancel type of the thread.
-
- ASYNCHRONOUS: the signal handler will KILL the thread immediately.
-
- DEFERRED: the signal handler mark its thread as canceled.
- (only for the sig-handler to do some sane stuff...)
-
- SIGTERM the thread is KILLED
- if the thread signaled is the main thread, then ALL child-threads
- will get a SIGHUP and after some micros a SIGTERM....
