freebsd-ports/devel/linuxthreads/pkg-descr

LinuxThreads is an POSIX pthreads implementation using "kernel threads".  In
this FreeBSD port, a kernel thread is started using rfork (whereas in the
original Linux implementation a kernel thread is started using the Linux clone
call).  This implementaion provides a so-called one-to-one mapping of threads to
kernel schedulable entities. For more information see about the original
LinuxThreads implementation see:

Note that LinuxThreads has been integrated with the GNU C library (glibc) since
version 2.0, so the above URL points to dated information.
Update to the most recent release of LinuxThreads, glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.2, which is rather tightly coupled with GNU libc, unlike the older version of this port. LinuxThreads has added many features since it was integrated with GNU libc, which means that a number of interfaces that were borrowed from libc_r are no longer needed. This updated port required a lot of reworking of the port, so there are likely to be new bugs. 1999-12-24 01:12:08 +00:00			`LinuxThreads is an POSIX pthreads implementation using "kernel threads".

Reviewed by: Russell Carter Submitted by: "Richard Seaman, Jr." <dick@tar.com> Native FreeBSD port of the linuxthreads library Includes added files and stuff you need to add to the rest of your system. This is for -current I'm sure Richard's older version might be a good place to start for a 3.x version. 1999-11-30 09:07:29 +00:00
