But you are not using it on a system which has a really functional thread implementation. So I'm still waiting for the reason why it should fail if you are not using threads. And for the argument to use another thread implementation: there are many more problems, pread is the last to worry about. The libc is tight closely to the thread library and vice versa that you have to look through all the code in question and will find this one as well. I even think that if you do the port correctly and compile the librt the make check in this directory will sooner or latter fail because of this. Fact is that there is and will be systems using glibc without having threads. You force the porters to have own copies of the code we now have in sysdeps/posix for no other reason but that the porters to complete Unix systems might overlook this broken implementation. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
