GnuPG and friends [PSARC/2009/397 FastTrack timeout 07/23/2009]

[Don Cragun]

The one-pager for this project says (in section 3.6) that it doesn't
duplicate core Solaris components.  But the description of the Pth
library provided by this case sure sounds like it is trying to duplicate
the behavior of the Solaris pthread library and major chunks of basic
libc functions like read[v] and write[v].

Why shouldn't this be considered a duplication of the core Solaris POSIX
threads features even though it adds a "pth_" to the front of a bunch of
standard function names?
