HPUX 10.20 threading?

["William A. Rowe, Jr." <wr...@rowe-clan.net>]

Wondering how others feel about the feedback below, should we simply
disable threads in APR by default for HPUX <11.0?

Hi all, sorry for my silence : I was busy by other tasks ...

I've tryed the last available version 2.0.43 w/ following config line :

./configure --disable-threads --with-mpm=prefork --with-ldap --enable-ldap 
--enable-auth-ldap --enable-info --enable-cgi --enable-expires --enable-so

The compilation succeed :-)

I think it should be a good thing to disable thread by default on HP-UX 10.20 
machine : it's why I reopen this case.

An other 'small issue' : it isn't possible apply by default --with-ldap 
if --enable-ldap is present ?

Bye

Laurent

  "I think it should be a good thing to disable thread by default

I'm sorry, but you will need to define exactly what the risks are for avoiding
threads on 10.20... I can't speak to that version because I know of noone who
isn't using 11.  Citations etc. would be very helpful.

Citations from HP themselves would be the best.  Thanks.

Well,

only because Apache won't compile on HP-UX < 11 w/ thread enabled. As noboby
(including myself) haven't time to port APR for threading on theses obsolete OS,
the easyest solution is to avoid threading in this situation.

+1.  Same experience here.  I've managed to get pth to somewhat work, but it 
was painful and not really reliable.  If someone feels adventurous, they can 
enable it.  We do the same thing with FreeBSD's thread library.  -- justin

I concur. In my experience, threading on HP-UX 10.x is semi-broken
anyway, and IIRC the thread libraries aren't even part of the default
install.

I think it is best to disable threads in this situation until we can 
address other configure problems (namely, the fact that when the pthread 
test program I tried to patch for this PR fails to compile we ignore the 
problem, which makes it hard to react to at configure time).
