Q 2.1-1) Can shared libraries linked with a Solaris
thread library be loaded into Allegro CL 5.0/5.0.1?
A 2.1-1) Yes, shared libraries linked with a Solaris thread library
can be loaded into ACL5.0/5.0.1. We know of several large applications in which this has
been successfully done.
There are also some related problems::
- An error will occur if a shared library linked with a Solaris thread library is loaded
into the lisp twice in one session. For most normal usage, there is no need to load a
shared library more than once into a lisp session.
- Shared libraries linked with a Solaris thread library that use setitimer() calls are
likely to see undesirable results - the timer signal will not be delivered to the thread
that set up the timer.
