Hi
I am trying to understand pthreads, and need to translate
the following symbols used in 32 bits pthreads to the 64 bit
pthreads that have changed the name of those symbols.
(at least I do not find them any more in the 64 bit libraries)

"__pthread_threads_debug"            marker
"__pthread_offsetof_pid"
"__pthread_handles_num"

This gave me in 32 bit linux the number of threads (handles_num)
and their pids.

The symbol __pthread_offsetof_descr gave me the offset of the thread
descriptor.

As usual in Linux, everything has changed completely and there is
no docs as to where could I find the same information.

Any help greatly appreciated

If possible, a doc of 64 bit threads would be NICE.
Apparently, threads do not have PIDs any more. I doubt this...
