Subj : Re: Linking without -lpthread doesn't fail?? To : comp.programming.threads From : dmarkh Date : Thu Oct 06 2005 02:21 am I'm calling pthread_cond_timedwait not pthread_cond_wait . I'm waiting for ETIMEDOUT. We us this instead of the other delay calls because it a better job of relinguishing the CPU while sleeping. The others do not at all. At least not in programs running RT SCHED_FIFO. It is probably the only pthread* call we use outside of a so called threaded app. Mark .
