I'm not sure if this one for unix-porting or darwin-kernel, but I have some software that uses futexes that I am interested in porting to Darwin. Has anyone else had any experience in porting futex-using code from Linux to Darwin?

It's more of a "unix-porting" question, but the answer is to convert them to pthread_mutex_t's, if they are being used for implementing mutexes, and counting semaphores/whatever, if they are being used for that.

If you are only using them PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE anyway (the default for pthreads), this is generally the best bet.
