My plan is to have 'configure' run this program as part of its operation, and Jan has some thread configure scripts, and this will all be automated in 7.5 so no one will have to run the program manually. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Peter's not going to be happy with you ;-) Runtime configure tests are
not part of the Grand Plan --- ideally configure should only have to do
compile and link tests.

Yep, I am sure he isn't, but looking at platforms that have different thread-safety capabilities, I can't see a way around it. We could argue that the thread test is testing the thread library, not the actual computer it is running in. For example, it isn't do a 'df'. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
