pthread_create() on Itanium 11.23

Robert Loureiro — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:48:21 GMT

Hello,

I have a program that runs on PA-RISC HPUX, AIX, and Solaris that uses threads for communications. I call pthread_create() to get things going. I recently ported this code to HPUX 11.23 Itanium, and when I make the call to pthread_create(), I receive the return code of 251 - "function not implemented".

Does anyone know if/when the pthread functions will be available on Itanium or if I need to use a different threading library?

Regards, Rob

This is resolved. I needed to change the link order of the -lpthread and remove the explicit link of -lc. The aCC compiler will add the -lc at the end of the link. By default, the libc library provides stubs for the pthread functions.

Right. The latest compiler will now warn if you attempt to add one of the default shlibs:
aCC: warning 983: The -lc library specified on the command line is also added automatically by the compiler driver.

You may want to use -mt and let the driver add -lpthread.

Yes, a patch added that on 11.11. Some stubs will return ENOSYS.

I am also facing the same problem in hp unix 11.11. I saw your solution but please explain in detail about what needs to be done in the server.

You should be creating your own thread so you can assign points. You can add an URL to this thread if there is any useful info.

There is nothing to be done on the server, the application is broken and needs to be relinked.
That does "chatr executable" show?

Now the program is running in infinite loop with the following error message

I am working on hp_unix 11.11 platform. Please find the code below

exit(-1);
}
}
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
