[omniORB] Using pthread calls inside a omnithread

[Marcel Schoch]

Hi everybody

I'd like to now if it is a problem when I'm calling pthread functions
inside a omniorb server function. As the server function runs inside
a omnithread, this may cause problems/crashes? I'm having strange
crashes and was not able to track down the problem yet, therefore my
generic question.

Thanks for any answer.

Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

I'm using pthreads in a omniORB server application and encouter
no problems. However, I am not sure what you mean with
"a server function running inside a omnithread".
I spawn my extra pthread before doing any omniorb specific stuff.
Be aware that concurent access to some resources may yield
unobvious problem.

Btw., I'm running Linux.

Hth,

Gerd

It should be fine, since omnithreads almost certainly use the pthread
API in its implementation on your target platform. So
acquiring/releasing mutexes, signalling and/or waiting on condition
variables and whatever else (including spawning new threads) should
not cause you any problem.
