pthread_t as component of hash function in TSRM

Rasmus suggested I take a look at the PHP4 code and make suggestions. I'm not on this list at the moment, so please cc: me on responses. One problem I noticed is that the thread ID is used to create a hash value (TSRM.c:198 in ts_resource(), for example). The problem here is that pthread_t is an opaque quantity, and isn't guaranteed to be an integer by the pthread standard, so THREAD_HASH_OF() could fail. And supposedly, pthread_t is a structure on HP-UX. For the pthread case, maybe TSRM could use the pthread TLS functions (pthread_{get,set}specific, etc.). When used with Apache, it could hash on the request_rec, or just store stuff in the request_rec. The advantage of this would be that TSRM would still work as expected under the async server models that Dean Gaudet and co. are working on. -- Manoj Kasichainula - manojk at io dot com - http://www.io.com/~manojk/ "'Why do you blow on people?'
