I recently undertook the long task of porting a whole load of SW
from solaris 1 to solaris 2.5.1. Wouldn't you know my friends
at sun changed the stinking operating system so my old libraries
and there are LOTS of them all needed to be recompiled. One of these
used the old light weighrt process library. Now I get to learn pthreads.
I am trying unsuccessfuly to mimic five functions from the old lwp with
pthreads. I can't quite get it to work. ANy thoughts?
lwp_create -> Got this one ok
lwp_resume -> Can't for the life of me figure out how to fake this
lwp_yield -> I'd really like this one too
lwp_destroy -> I figure this is pthread_kill
This is part of a very involved event driven simulator and I really don't have
time to fiddle.
Any healp is appreciated.
Thanks
