What do yuo see as YOUR goals? % %One goal that I did not list last week, but one that is important (first %brought up by Peter, I think), is to make the LinuxThreads work done by %Richard natively useable (i.e. not under Linux emulation). This is %admittedly an interim solution, but it should be relatively easy to make %work, and will be genuinely useful in a number of places. It already works native now. I'm going to submit a libgcc_r addition to the port today. I build and run every ACE+TAO beta against it, as well as with libc_r threads. There are a couple of bugs left, but I've got to run the regression tests again today to get those characterized accurately, and that takes a while. At one point I had a pretty thorough performance test harness constructed using ACE for comparing libc_r and linuxthreads, it might be of use for the discussion of user vs. kernel context switching.
