From 0158bceec78c7891a7ef672770bf42e65fd064dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russ Cox Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 22:47:51 -0500 Subject: libthread: run first thread in proc on system stack For pthread systems that are fussy about which stack is used, this makes sure that threadmain runs on a system stack. If you only use proccreate (never threadcreate), all threads run on system stacks. --- man/man3/thread.3 | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'man/man3') diff --git a/man/man3/thread.3 b/man/man3/thread.3 index 0ebbddd0..9088ae2e 100644 --- a/man/man3/thread.3 +++ b/man/man3/thread.3 @@ -169,6 +169,14 @@ initialized to the desired value .B mainstacksize .B = .BR 1024 ). +When using the +.I pthread +library, +.B mainstacksize +is ignored, as is the stack size argument to +.BR proccreate : +the first thread in each proc +runs on the native system stack. .PP .I Threadcreate creates a new thread in the calling proc, returning a unique integer -- cgit v1.2.3
