[M3devel] m3core/runtime/RTThread vs. m3core/thread/posix?

[Jay]

Does anyone think the division between
m3core/runtime/RTThread and m3core/thread/posix makes sense,
is correct, is important, is at all "good", etc.?
 
 
thread/posix is the only user of RTThread.
RTThread was forked into platform-specific variants,
but they are all nearly identical.
 
 
I think this code belongs in m3core/thread/posix/ThreadPosix.m3
or m3core/thread/posix/ThreadPosixC.c and have begun making it so.
 
 
It is not much code, but it is multiplied out per-platform.
 
 
There is already RTThreadC.c for many platforms, and
introducing ThreadPosixC.c gives me a place to park related C
code, in a less disruptive way (ie: ThreadPosixC.c and
RTThreadC.c could be merged at some point, probably by deleting
RTThreadC.c, once ThreadPosixC.c is complete).
 
 
My /real/ agenda here is to move to "my rewritten drastically
reduced headers" on other platforms (*_DARWIN, LINUXLIBC6, FreeBSD),
which reduce porting effort, but I feel
I can't do that unless user thread support is there,
so I am "cleaning up" user thread support along a few lines
(make it work on LINUXLIBC6, make it more portable).
