I found a problem with libthread_xu -- when trying to download a file
with firefox the 'file download' dialog box crashes with this error:
GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 348 (): error 'Operation
not supported' during 'pthread_attr_setschedparam (&attr, &sched)'
aborting...
When I switch back to libc_r the problem goes away.
This is one relevant-looking section of gthread-posix.c which is
customized for FreeBSD. I'm wondering if it should also apply to
DragonFly:
#if defined (POSIX_MIN_PRIORITY) && defined (POSIX_MAX_PRIORITY) &&
defined(_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING)
# define HAVE_PRIORITIES 1
static gint priority_normal_value;
# ifdef __FreeBSD__
/* FreeBSD threads use different priority values from the POSIX_
* defines so we just set them here. The corresponding macros
* PTHREAD_MIN_PRIORITY and PTHREAD_MAX_PRIORITY are implied to be
* exported by the docs, but they aren't.
*/
# define PRIORITY_LOW_VALUE 0
# define PRIORITY_URGENT_VALUE 31
# else /* !__FreeBSD__ */
# define PRIORITY_LOW_VALUE POSIX_MIN_PRIORITY
# define PRIORITY_URGENT_VALUE POSIX_MAX_PRIORITY
# endif /* !__FreeBSD__ */
# define PRIORITY_NORMAL_VALUE priority_normal_value
#endif /* POSIX_MIN_PRIORITY && POSIX_MAX_PRIORITY */
In any case, as I said, this bug happens only when using
libthread_xu.
