Hi there,
please excuse if I send this question to the wrong list - I'm absolutely
new to the Darwin project.
Currently I'm trying to port a realtime CORBA ORB to Mac OS X. While it
compiles and runs fine on Solaris machines, I've got certain troubles
with X's pthread implementation. As I was told on the student
developer's list, the Darwin kernel currently doesn't support per-thread
signals. So I'd tried to replace the unimplemented calls to
pthread_kill() with pthread_cancel() or pthread_detach(). Both result in
'zombie' threads that are stuck in a "semaphore_wait_trap" within
pthread_exit() as the gdb call chain tells me.
Since someone also stated, that this is a known issue and already
corrected in "the current builds of 10.2 (expected July or so)", I
wonder, if I can replace this specific part of Mac OS X's kernel with a
current build of Darwin (that hopefully got rid of this issue already) -
and how to do that in detail.
Feel free to redirect my question to a more appropriate list or
newsgroup.
Mark
