I posted earlier today that beta-4 was crapping out on my test code.
Just about every problem I had has been resolved:
1. I said sys/socket.h ``worked with beta3'' and I wondered why the change.
answer: it didn't work with beta-3 either, and I had forgotten that I fixed
it locally.
2. I said signals weren't delivered between threads or from outside the
process. True, but the fix I posted to pthreads-bugs a while back
still applies. Line numbers have changed substantially, but the
patch still goes into sig_handler_fake() in signal.c.
3. I said my regression tests all failed. That was because I had added
some code to my PThread class to try to get larger stack sizes, and had
forgotten to remove that code when I determined that stack size wasn't
the problem. The fact that changing the stack size attribute doesn't work
is another problem; but removing the stack-size-modifying code from the library
I posted makes the regression tests work fine.
Sorry to be so alarmist.
Thanks,
Bill Gribble
