[libvirt] [PATCHv2 1/5] build: rely on gnulib's pthread module

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Tue May 4 21:16:01 UTC 2010


Gnulib can guarantee that pthread.h exists, but for now, it is a dummy
header with no support for most pthread_* functions.  Modify our
use of pthread to use function checks, rather than header checks,
to determine how much pthread support is present.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add pthread.
* configure.ac: Drop all pthread.h checks.  Optimize function
checks.  Add check for pthread functions.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_lxc_LDADD): Ensure proper link.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteIOEventLoop): Depend on
pthread_sigmask, now that gnulib guarantees pthread.h.
* src/util/util.c (virFork): Likewise.
* src/util/threads.c (threads-pthread.c): Depend on
pthread_mutexattr_init, as a witness of full pthread support.
* src/util/threads.h (threads-pthread.h): Likewise.
