RE: Phil-list: bool pthread_tryjoin_np(pth)

Hi All,

Introduction... been wondering about
how NPTL handles pthread_join() - suppose
you waitpid() on the children?  What if
all we want is to determine if alive?

A non-blocking bool pthread_tryjoin_np(pth):
I've been putting this into pkgs for years
with great success - allows controlling
thread(s) to poll for their prodigies.
Give them some dignity in death.

Guess either NPTL does it once, or I have
to do it at least once more, for NPTL.

Congrats - doing Great,

/bill
