No, it does use libpthread (or libthr, or libc_r if you so choose). What I'm saying is that the JVM maps a single Java thread to a single <pthread library of your choice> thread. How that maps to a kernel thread is then defined by the threading library. The point is that the JVM doesn't do any internal M:N business itself, which was the original point under discussion IIRC. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis_at_eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis_at_FreeBSD.orgReceived on Mon Oct 30 2006 - 15:33:41 UTC
