[M3devel] ease of switching between pthreads and userthreads?

[Jay K]

I've asked before. I'm asking again.


I'd like to be able to switch between userthreads and pthreads via a command line switch to the executable.
@M3pthreads @M3userthreads
or somesuch.


I'd also like to be able to switch the default via a line in a m3makefile that builds a program.


I know roughly what implementing this would look like.


I am a bit confused as to what problems -pthread/-pthreads/-lpthread causes.
I'll have to reread.
Whatever problem it has, this change probably would too.


I'm willing to implement this myself.
I'm not asking for anyone else to do it.


I understand it makes LOCK harder to efficiently inline.
If/when LOCK becomes partly inlined, provide a switch?


Thank you,
 - Jay
