Update module names accordingly. * Makefile.am: Adjust accordingly. * po/POTFILES.in: Likewise. * distro.scm: Search for files under /gnu/packages instead of /distro/packages. * gnu/packages/base.scm (ld-wrapper-boot3): Likewise. --- gnu/packages/pth.scm | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+) create mode 100644 gnu/packages/pth.scm (limited to 'gnu/packages/pth.scm') diff --git a/gnu/packages/pth.scm b/gnu/packages/pth.scm new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b0d5092cb0 --- /dev/null +++ b/gnu/packages/pth.scm @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +;;; GNU Guix --- Functional package management for GNU +;;; Copyright © 2012 Ludovic Courtès +;;; +;;; This file is part of GNU Guix. +;;; +;;; GNU Guix is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +;;; under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +;;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at +;;; your option) any later version. +;;; +;;; GNU Guix is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but +;;; WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +;;; MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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+))) -- cgit v1.2.3
