What type of threads is implemented in FreeBSD? user, kernel or both? Pointers to further reading (also comparison with WindowsNT) is appreciated. I would also like to know the source code location. (src/sys/i386/i386/swtch.s?, where is pthread_create, etc..?) thank you Nathan _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
