All threads run in the same address space of +the server application, but each thread has it's own individual +program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. + +The thread scheduling itself is done in a cooperative way, i.e., the +threads are managed by a priority- and event-based non-preemptive +scheduler. The intention is that this way one can achieve better +portability and run-time performance than with preemptive +scheduling. The event facility allows threads to wait until various +types of events occur, including pending I/O on file descriptors, +asynchronous signals, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports, +thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions. + +Additionally Pth provides an optional emulation API for POSIX.1c +threads (\"Pthreads\") which can be used for backward compatibility to +existing multithreaded applications.") + (license lgpl2.1+))) |
