A couple of questions on nptl and lib/tls

AFAIK, when building a threaded app currently to get the full NPTL you need to specify -I/usr/include/nptl (to get the NPTL header files) and -L/usr/lib/nptl (to link with the NPTL libraries). With the 2.6 kernel when building a normal threaded app, you get Linux Threads by default, but since some NPTL features are implemented in the kernel, you get some benefit. We had some questions about /lib/tls. What I have been able to find out is that this contains the libraries that support Thread Local Storage for NPTL. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
