Hello All,
I'm trying to port an email server program (BlitzMail, from Dartmouth
College) to OS X, mostly for my own personal interest. It was
originally written for NeXT, and has been ported to Digital Unix and
Linux - so I figured that it wouldn't be too hard to port to OS X.
However, during its configure script, it checks to see if errno is
preserved between threads, and on OS X it's failing this test. I've
modified the original test code from the configure script, and will
include it below. It seems to me (with admittedly limited pthread
experience) that it should work. However, it's not. Here's the
source code and the output.
I'm assuming that the correct output is
0: Hello World!
Going to sleep...
Waking up...
As that is what got from a linux machine (ok, I added <errno.h> and
linked in -lpthread).
On my mac, though, the output is unpredictable...
[01:30:14][jeremy:~]$ for ((i=1; i<10; i++)); do ./a.out; done;
0: Hello World!
Going to sleep...
Waking up...
Going to sleep...
0: Hello World!

main after sleep: errno = 2
0: Hello World!
