[M3devel] real time threads

[Jay K]

Remember to use m3_pthread_t and PTHREAD_FROM_M3.
This is to accomodate systems where pthread_t might be an int or a pointer-sized integer.
 
Granted, I suppose all the ABIs make it not matter.

Should we just play it loose instead? Maybe.
 
Our Mac OSX code is a little different now and uses mach_port_t instead of pthread_t.
I'm not certain your code will compile there but I can look more closely, much later.
 
Thank you,

Subject: [M3devel] real time threads

Hi,  Just committed a new interface adding support for real time policies and priorities for pthreads, if anyone is interested. Comments, fixes, flames welcome. Also included is a subtype of mutex allowing support for priority inversion. For a fascinating real world example of this just google what really happened on mars.  Also you may need to be running as root to change the policy or priority of a thread.
