[Python-Dev] POSIX thread code and Cygwin (original) (raw)

I submitted another patch to the POSIX threads code. It is under SourceForge as patch number 533681.

This tells Python to explicitly use the POSIX semaphore code for Cygwin. I had inadvertently left a remnant in my version of thread.c that forced _POSIX_SEMAPHORES to be defined for Cygwin.

It turns out _POSIX_SEMAPHORES is only set if rtems is defined. At the time I didn't know what that meant but thought it must have been defined since I got the correct code.

If you'd prefer, I could provide a patch to thread.c instead.

Sorry about that. I really meant to wrap it all up in the first patch.
