Problem: Hangs on pthread_allocate_stack during pthread_create

[kd at flaga.is]

Yes I did and do have this problem. I have not seen any fix other than
replacing memset() with a for loop that clears the new_thread struct.

I have no Idea why this happens. I have not analysed the code that gcc
produces (version 2.95) but it might have problems with large structures,
the thread structure is around 0.5KB (500 bytes). But this is a pure guess.

K.D.

Hi,

Did someone have the problem, that pthread_create
hangs on function pthread_allocate_stack (exacly in
memset(new_thread,'\0'sizeof(*new_thread)) ?? this
happens without running with gdb etc, I just compiled
the programs under Examples and run them on the MPC86
board.

memset itself seems to work corrently (uses
glib-2.1.3/sysdep/powerpc/memset.S).

Unfortunately I do not have gdb on the board.

Following is the configuration, I uses:
Glibc-2.1.3,
powerpc running under MPC860,
gcc-2.95.2,

that I cross compiled under intel PC.


Can someone point me the sites how to build the gdb
for the board using the cross compiler?


I will appreciate, if one can give me hints or infos.

Thank you.
