What's this musl patch for? #4

Closed firasuke closed 2 years ago

firasuke commented 2 years ago

Hey there,

What's this musl patch used for?

https://github.com/xhebox/noname-linux/blob/master/ports/musl/Pkgfile#L21

Is it to provide compatibility with GNU pthread_setname_np and pthread_getname_np functions?

Also, what are pthread-stubs used for?

Thanks for your efforts!

We already have pthread_setname_np, but there is no pthread_getname_np. I want it for rust. Refer https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2021/05/20/8. If I remember it correctly, it is in the mainline already, but not released yet.

pthread-stubs provide a pkgconfig file for pthread. It may be deprecated. I'll check later.

I see.

Thanks for the quick reply!
