Subj : Re: why my threads do not wake up To : comp.programming.threads From : roger.faulkner Date : Wed Aug 24 2005 12:53 pm It would help if you gave some details: What version of Solaris are you using? Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, Solaris 9, Solaris 10? Some at least sample code: How do you call pthread_cond_wait()? In a loop, testing a condition? How do you set the condition? While holding the mutex? There is a paucity of information in this discussion. Roger Faulkner Sun Microsystems .
