Hi,

Does anyone know if setting explicit priorities is currently working
under cygwin/pthread?

I am calling the following:
* pthread_attr_setschedparam() with a fixed priority between -14 and 5
* pthread_attr_setschedpolicy with SCHED_FIFO parameter
* pthread_attr_setinheritsched with PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED parameter

From within the spawned thread I am calling pthread_getschedparam()
but this always returns current priority 0. This is confirmed by the
fact that two threads which are running at different priorities just
seem to timeslice between each other.

Is this expected behavour?

Thanks,
Paul.
