pthreads

["Simon Martin" <smartin@isys.cl>]

Environment: slink, g++ (egcs-2.91.60), libc6-2.0.7.19881

Hi,

I am developing a C++ socket class that I wish to operate completely
independently from the caller. To do this, I am trying to use pthreads to
spawn a listening thread that will handle all coenection requests. I do this
quite often and succesfully on NT, but when I compile with g++ I get the
error that it can't find "pthread_create" or "pthread_join", two functions I
use. I tried explicitly telling g++ to use the /lib/libpthreads-0.7-1.so,
but it still comes back with the same error. This seams to be the only
pthread on my system so I wonder what's going on.

Secondly I am assuming that the pthread implementation is similar to the
Win32 implementation is as much a thread of execution is assigned by the
scheduler and shares process memory and resources with all the other threads
defined for that process. I seem to remember something about all threads
sharing the processes time quanta, but if anyone wants to expound I would be
very obliged.

TIA
