Bug 170169 – pthread_t not properly detected

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Tools / Tests

Hi.

WebKit checks for the pthread_np include file using:
_HAVE_CHECK_INCLUDE(HAVE_PTHREAD_NP_H pthread_np.h)

However, on at least OpenBSD this will always fail because this file is not usable by itself.
It is usually used in conjunction with '<pthread.h>'.

Determining if the include file pthread_np.h exists failed with the following output:

Previous versions did not have this issue because it was explicitely declared under Source/WTF/wtf/Platform.h:
#if (OS(FREEBSD) || OS(OPENBSD)) && !defined(__GLIBC__)
#define HAVE_PTHREAD_NP_H 1
#endif

I am not sure how (or even if) it is possible to add a dependent include to _HAVE_CHECK_INCLUDE.
Using autoconf, I'd do something like:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS([pthread_np.h],,,
    [#ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_H
     #include <pthread.h.h>
     #endif])

Thanks.

Cannot reproduce.
