I was far too generous and deferential before. > David, you specifically have been faced with this question before: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/browse_frm/thread/2184ba84f911d9dd/a6e4f7cf13bbec2d#a6e4f7cf13bbec2d and you didn't dispute the interpretation then. The wording for pthread_mutex_unlock hasn't changed between 2001 and now. And here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/89cc5d600e34e88a?hl=en& If those statements were incorrect, I have a feeling someone would have corrected them at the time. Certainly you can attest to that. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/d5b2231ca57bb102?hl=en& Clearly at this point there's nothing to be gained from pursuing this any further. The 2.6 kernel has been out for too long; if it were to be "fixed" again it would just make life ugly for another group of people, and I don't want to write the autoconf tests to detect the flavor-of-the-week. We've wasted enough time arguing futilely over it, I'll stop. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc OpenLDAP Core Team http://www.openldap.org/project/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
