* Hendrik Sattler <sattler2000@gmx.de> [050708 02:48]: Hi Hendrik, all, thank you for your responses. :-) > Cited the wrong file for pthread_t definition :-/ > It's > /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:typedef unsigned long int pthread_t; :-) > Still, no casting is needed Yes, it's true that no casting is needed here. At least on Linux where pthread_t is unsigned long int anyway (instead of a struct). OTOH, I would have expected, that it should not do any harm to cast pthread_t to unsigned long and vice versa in this case (like it is handled in the upstream sources). Obviously, this doesn't seem to be the case any more with gcc 4.0. > (gcc4 probably wants to tell you that other systems might > define pthread_t differently). Yes, maybe. Upstream handles the portability problems with certain preprocessor directives. Thanks again for your input, I am going to discuss this issue with upstream ...
