PThreads on HP-UX 11.0

[EssJayKay]

I am porting code from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11.0. I have several PTHREAD calls that are no longer supported. Does anyone know of new calls that are available for these functions?

1) pthread_getunique_np - i have seen some reference to pthread_self, however this returns the tread, not the uniwue ID from what I understand.

2) pthread_get_expiration_np

any help would eb appreciated.

Basically anything with _np is bad news. np stands for Non Portable and may not necessarily be implemented.

pthread_self () returns a pthread_t, which itself is a unique handle for the thread. You could use the handle as the id. Alternatively, put all your pthread_t in a global array and get the index from the array.

pthread_get_expiration_np works out a new timeout for pthread_cond_timedwait. You may be able to use something else to fill the timespec structure to work out your expiry time.
