Re: [call for testing] NPTL like pthread implementation for GNU/kFreeBSD



Hi Petr,

Are you sure about this?

 /* TID of the helper thread.  */
-extern __lwpid_t __helper_tid attribute_hidden;
+extern pid_t __helper_tid attribute_hidden;

(in kernel-posix-timers.h and timer_routines.c)

lwpid_t happens to match pid_t but AFAICT they're supposed to be
different things. Nothing prevents upstream from eventually diverging
them:

sys/sys/_types.h:typedef     __int32_t       __lwpid_t;      /* Thread
ID (a.k.a. LWP) */
sys/sys/_types.h:typedef     __int32_t       __pid_t;        /*
process [group] */
