Do we plan to get rid of LinuxThreads support anytime soon? (original) (raw)

I don’t think there is any reason to keep the LinuxThreads code anymore. It would be a welcome cleanup.

Hi all, How long do we plan to continue support for LinuxThreads (vs NPTL) Linux variants? There would be some coding in os/linux which could be thrown away if we stopped supporting LinuxThreads. If we do not get rid of it: does Oracle still run tests on Linux variants which use LinuxThreads? Thanks! Regards, Thomas
