This Pthreads library is a partial and experimental implementation of the Posix.1c standard for thread programming. It is only intented for educational purposes, not for really productive applications. I wrote this library to show internal details while presenting courses of system programming.<\/p>\n
The library is totally implemented in user space, using none of the system call (like\u00a0 All the\u00a0typedef<\/em> and functions use the \u00ab\u00a0 The library uses the\u00a0 Note that most of the Posix.1c functions are not implemented yet, the scheduler is ridiculous, a thousand of bugs are still there, but I think that the Pthreads library can be useful to understand how a real user-space thread libraries could be built.<\/p>\n This library is only interesting for source code studying, so I do not provide any binary-only package!<\/p>\nclone(2)<\/code>) provided by the kernel to help implement threads library. It only works on Intel based Linux systems, because of the processor dependant stack handling.<\/p>\nPthread_<\/code>\u00a0\u00bb prefix, while the real Posix.1c implementations use the \u00ab\u00a0pthread_<\/code>\u00a0\u00bb prefix. This is intented to avoid confusion when the C library automatically includes \u00ab\u00a0pthread_<\/code>\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0typedefs<\/em>. So the Pthreads library can be installed on a system that has already a pthread library. A shell script named\u00a0pthread_2_Pthread.sh<\/code> is provided to convert the source files, with the help of the Sed tool.<\/p>\nSIGALRM<\/code> signal to schedule the threads. So you must not uses this signal, nor the\u00a0ITIMER_REAL<\/code> timer in your application. In fact, I suspect that a large part of the sleeping system calls and functions won’t work (sleep(3)<\/code>,\u00a0usleep(3)<\/code>,\u00a0setitimer(2)<\/code>\u2026)<\/p>\nDownload<\/h1>\n
