This library provides weak aliases for pthread functions not provided in libc
|
||
|
|
or otherwise available by default. Libraries like libxcb rely on pthread
|
||
|
|
stubs to use pthreads optionally, becoming thread-safe when linked to
|
||
|
|
libpthread, while avoiding any performance hit when running single-threaded.
|
||
|
|
libpthread-stubs supports this behavior even on platforms which do not supply
|
||
|
|
all the necessary pthread stubs. On platforms which already supply all the
|
||
|
|
necessary pthread stubs, this package ships only the pkg-config file
|
||
|
|
pthread-stubs.pc, to allow libraries to unconditionally express a dependency
|
||
|
|
on pthread-stubs and still obtain correct behavior.
