Only if the 32bit package is installed (which unfortunately happens by defa= ult=20 e.g. with 'yum install db4-devel' you get both i386 and x86_64). On RHEL5: # rpm -e db4-devel-4.3.29-9.fc6.i386 works around this.

I just forgot to autoconf:-( It works if I use libtool-1.5.24 and run libtoolize --copy --force aclocal autoconf However I'm doing something wrong. With libtool 1.5.22, which OpenLDAP uses now, the build/ltmain.sh and build/config.* I generate don't match the existing ones. Nor aclocal.m4 when I run aclocal, but then I don't know which automake version to use. Is OpenLDAP using a patched libtool? One of the differences is that ltmain.sh contains VERSION=1.5.22-OpenLDAP, while I get VERSION=1.5.22. build/README is outdated, it says we use libtool 1.4.3. -- Regards, Hallvard

One cleanup (move thread start before queuing task in pool_submit(), one mini functionality: Make thread counts int instead of long, since pool_query() wants that.

I wonder if we've been waiting for each other... Anyway, I've committed some pending fixes now that HEAD passes all tests for me. I've some more cleanup, but if we are close to a freeze I don't know if that means I should rush it in or wait until afterwards. >> We did have code which compared thread IDs with '==' for >> quite some time. Do you remember if anyone complained, or if the >> switch to using ldap_pvt_thread_equal() was a "just in case" fix? > > Yes, I needed to use pthread_equal() on OS/390 since their thread type > was a structure. I'm not sure, but I gather that's derived from the DCE threads reference implementation where pthread_t has three members 'field1', 'field2' and 'field3'. tls.c can't stuff all of them in a long, so the old one may not get a unique ID. OTOH DCE has a pthread_getunique_np() call which uses just the 2nd field as a unique integer thread ID, I expect we could use that. Except I don't have a host to test such a change on. Dunno why pthread_equal checks all three fields. I've asked on comp.programming.threads. Also I note that the DCE struct will get four padding bytes on a 64-bit host which aligns the struct at 8*n addresses, and the compiler is not obliged to preserve these during struct copy. On the other hand DCE threads are based on an extremely outdated Posix draft, so I don't know how relevant it is now. Another time when tls.c code loses information is if pointers are wider than long, which does happen. (Don't know how it is nowadays, but I remember plenty of postings about it some years ago.) [Using address of the thread's stack] >>> That's what the LDAP_PVT_THREAD_STACK_SIZE macro tells you. As modified by PTHREAD_STACK_MIN and pthread_attr_getguardsize(). And slight other variations, apparently. I tried on a few hosts and Solaris would a few times use some extra space near the stack of a thread or two. OTOH we could allocate stack memory ourselves and then use pthread_attr_setstack() to put the stack just where we want it. However this doesn't help tls.c with threads that have been created by _other_ packages. And the SSL id_callback function apparently has no way to return failure:-( All in all I still like a thread-specific key better - they are the standard way of doing things like this. We only need it for pthreads since the other thread types as far as I can tell have integer IDs. >>> It's really >>> not hard. If we were to disallow increasing the number of threads at >>> runtime, we could simply allocate a block of thread stacks all at once, >>> which would then allow our thread IDs to be simple integers from 0-N. IIRC disallowing that would fix some other tpool problem too, but I don't remember what. >> Hmm.

Which led me to notice that the setstacksize call now _decreases_ the stack size on some hosts. I don't suppose that was intentional, so I guess it should be size_t cursize; if( pthread_attr_getstacksize( &attr, &cursize ) || cursize < LDAP_PVT_THREAD_STACK_SIZE ) pthread_attr_setstacksize( &attr, LDAP_PVT_THREAD_STACK_SIZE ); in thr_posix and I don't know what in other thr_* files. A RE24 change I guess, since reduces the max number of threads before slapd gets into trouble. -- Regards, Hallvard
