Re: [MiNT] pthreads ?

IIRC there is a problem with basepage, that makes context switch expensive when using threads. Workaroud (using pexec) was made by Draco030, so he is the one to ask.

            Do we have pthreads for MiNT? Anything similar?

        Only a "simulation" by GNU pth
        (http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/), you
        can find it on Patrice's website.


    There are also MiNT threads, but they are quite expensive, due to
    TOS ancestry. There is a workaround around that using Pexes and some
    magic. This workaround is used by MiNTLib fork(), so it might be the
    best choice for threading under FreeMiNT.
