Hi all,
I just got a multi-threaded database server compiling, and
apparently running - and now, a bit late admittedly.., I discover
on the mailing-list that the gnu-win libraries are not thread-safe!
I didn't crash until now, but that is presumeably a matter of time
and luck. Help!
So, I am in deep sh*t. Even ready to invest serious work on the
library to help fix up things. What I would like to know of some
knowledgeable gnu-win person is:
- what are the plans of Cygnus Support Inc. in the area of
thread-safeness?
- which sections of the system are not thread-safe?
(the newlib/ or also the winsup/ stuff?)
- or are there any other problem areas?
If it's just newlib that is the problem:
- how difficult would it be make this one thread-safe, or replace it
by the gnu-libc?
- is it even possible to 'overload' the gnu libc on top
of the cygnus system in order to get a thread-safe system?
many thanks in advance..
