Re: [Cppcms-users] Getting ready to 1.0.5

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Ok...

II installed NetBSD 6.1.5 on VBox and run the tests.


1st I didn't see clang but rather gcc is used systemwise
so I tested with gcc (not really big difference I think)

I did several fixed and adaptations for NetBSD and no
problem with internal_forwarder_test and proto_* test werevisible


BUT... I discovered a huge issue with TLS implementation
in the pthreads library that requires workaround.

If you run pthread_key_create more than 255 times
(even if you call pthread_key_delete and release the keys)
the key creation.
256  is the total number of TLS keys allowed at NetBSD. 


However pthread_key_delete does not "free" the spot - it
caused all ICU tests that use TLS for optimization
fail and it may cause other problems that aren't
visible right now.

Bottom line - TLS implementation requires workaround or
fix in standard library for NetBSD to be used safely with
CppCMS.


I'll commit various fixes for NetBSD for 1.0.5 but I need
to think whether to implement TLS workaround because
it is a clear pthreads library bug that MUST be solved
by NetBSD developers.


Also service_test fix does not work as it looks like 
under NetBSD killall behaves differently.
