Re: [LTP] Re: PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX missing?

Although the LTP has no goal of becoming "POSIX compliant"....mostly b/c
Linux itself is not....I agree that any test for POSIX threads should be.
I added the following code, in hopes that it will be more "generic":

#ifdef PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX
#define PIDS PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX /* maximum thread allowed.
*/
#elif defined(PID_MAX_DEFAULT)
#define PIDS PID_MAX_DEFAULT     /* maximum pids allowed.
*/
#elif defined(PID_MAX)
#define PIDS PID_MAX             /* alternative way maximum pids may be
defined */
#endif

Furthermore, Posix does not require PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX be defined; see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/pthread.h.html

Looks like LTP needs to change trace_sched.c to be more posix-compliant.
