I am porting code that needs the PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK type of pthread_mutex. But it seems that PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is not supported on Darwin. I get an EINVAL error when trying to use pthread_mutexattr_settype. int main (void) { pthread_mutexattr_t a; assert(!pthread_mutexattr_init(&a)); assert(!pthread_mutexattr_settype(&a, PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK)); return 0; } A second problem on the behaviour of pthread_cancel that is not correct. Is the use of explicit pthread_testcancel the way to go or can the following termination code be used safely? No, it can't. In previous versions of Mac OS X, pthread_testcancel() was the only cancellation point. Some code depended on this, so we had to preserve this behavior by default. If you define _APPLE_C_SOURCE when building your pthreads code on Tiger, you should get the new (proper) cancellation behavior. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
