Re: Slapd hang

Quanah Gibson-Mount wrote: I have to nitpick here: Analyzing db-4.8.30/dist/configure shows that option --enable-posixmutexes sets the variable db_cv_posixmutexes which in turn sets db_cv_mutex=posix_only if db_cv_mutex is "no" before. If --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads/library is used db_cv_mutex is set to this value. So it seems to me that --enable-posixmutexes is a no-op if --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads/library was set explicitly. Simply invoking: $ cd build_unix $ ../dist/configure --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads/library [..] checking if --enable-posixmutexes option specified... no [..] checking if --with-mutex=MUTEX option specified... POSIX/pthreads/library [..] checking for mutexes... (cached) POSIX/pthreads/library checking pthread.h usability... yes checking pthread.h presence... yes checking for pthread.h... yes checking for main in -lpthread... yes [..] checking for pthread_self... yes checking for pthread_yield... yes [..] And I examined the differences of all generated files under build_unix/ if --enable-posixmutexes is set or not - of course always setting --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads/library): There are no significant differences. While I personally would prefer to explicitly mention --enable-posixmutexes just for completeness it technically does not seem to be a difference. So to me the Debian package libdb4.8 is not responsible for possible hangs. Am I overlooking something? Ciao, Michael.
