Compiling Multithreaded Application
There are some new preprocessing directives that has been introduced to compile
with latest Pthread implementation.
_POSIX_SOURCE: This needs to be used when compiling any DCE application.
It is not necessary when compiling threads only application.
_MPE_THREADS: This is used when compiling any DCE or multithreaded
application. This directive is used set the thread specific errno.
Applications should ensure that they link /lib/libpthread.sl before
/lib/libc.sl to ensure that they invoke the thread-safe versions
of these C runtime. Applications should not use the c89 linking feature
directly since it bind the C routines to /lib/libc.a before
/lib/libpthread.sl. Also since we are binding to /lib/libc.sl,
we need to explicitly link the program object file(s) with the loader "start"
routine.
The following makefile will provide an example of the linking process.
