Cthreads testing suite - a cthread_self() bug

[Tomasz Wegrzanowski <maniek@beer.com>]

I was asked to make a test suite for Hurd cthreads library.
So, I made a few tests, and one of them failed.
Here it is, only neccesary details left.
Read the entire session for details.

I think than _EXTERN_INLINE mean that both inline form and
library function are provided. Gcc probably thinks the same,
as it uses inline form with -O flag, but tries to
take function from library without -O.

IMHO, this function should be added to libthreads or libc0.2.

Test was done on old instalation and then after major update,
both with the same results.

$ cat self.c
#include <cthreads.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

cthread_t self;

any_t some_thread (any_t data) {
  self = cthread_self ();
  return NULL;
}

int main () {
  cthread_t expected = cthread_fork (some_thread, NULL);
  cthread_join (expected);

  printf ("Expected = 0x%x, returned = 0x%x\n", expected, self);
  if (expected != self) {
     printf ("ctheard_self() BROKEN !!!\n");
     return 1;
  }
  printf ("ctheard_self() ok.\n");
  return 0;
}
$ gcc self.c -lthreads
/usr/tmp/ccKJfbVD.o: In function `some_thread':
/usr/tmp/ccKJfbVD.o(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `__thread_stack_pointer'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -O self.c -lthreads
$ ./a.out
Expected = 0x8049b30, returned = 0x8049b30
ctheard_self() ok.
$ cpp self.c | head -262 | tail -7

  void *__sp__;
  __asm__ ("movl %%esp, %0" : "=r" (__sp__));
  return __sp__;
}
