25.2 Examples and Caveats

 

The sample kernels in the examples/threads directory (see Section 1.6.1), contain several sample kernels demonstrating the use of the POSIX threads module.

This small set of test programs clearly does not test every possible combination of components. A larger set of test program is in the works. In addition, not all of the thread-safe adaptors are implemented, so some components cannot be used in a multithreaded environment. For now, the POSIX threads module should be used with caution. Note that these examples are compiled and linked against the multithreaded version of the FreeBSD C library (see Section 18), rather than the minimal C library (Section 12).
