Re: non-thread-safe yet pthreads-friendly build of PHP?

I have ran into this issue many times, with the sudden system call switch between a threaded and non-threaded mode. In one scenario I had a problem where a 3rd party module (chilisoft) was linked against an so that was linked against libpthread. I had an issue where signals where not being utilized correctly (SIGALRM would no longer work after one try) which would break keep-alive in apache. My first fix was a patch to the source to reset non-blocking on SIGALRM with every request. Later I discovered just compiling the webserver with -lthread and -lpthread solved all problems. I am currently developing an Intermail module, which uses threads as well, and have had no problems. (the same applies to the php/java module.) I definitely think this is something that is not as well known as it should be. -Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zeev Suraski" <zeev@zend.com> To: "Rasmus Lerdorf" <rasmus@php.net> Cc: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] non-thread-safe yet pthreads-friendly build of PHP? > Ok, thanks! > > Zeev > > At 00:29 28/3/2001, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > > > Is there any way to build PHP with pthreads, with ZTS disabled?
