I have managed to get kaffe to pass thread tests using a snapshot of Kaffe
from approx. 1 week ago. Internal jthreads should work okay.

I have never been able to get mit-pthreads to work, but others might have. I
think I remember someone getting msql or mysql to work once and posting
about it to this mailing list.

Subject: Threads in arm32?


hi,

I have succesfully compiled Kaffe from pkgsrc and it runs most java code
well.
Unfortunately it goes to sleep if the code tries to implement threads.

I am aware that threads are not yet in the arm32 tree, having tried to build
mysql server, but thought that Kaffe might have its own version. Apparently
not
:~(

I then downloaded and attempted to compile pkgsrc/devel/mit-pthreads to see
if I
could integrate it in some way, but the compile fails with(from memory):

     SWI relocation not allowed in this output format (presumably a.out)

1. Has anyone implemented threads successfully on arm32?
2. How close is ELF on arm32?

BTW I am using gcc on the October snapshot.

TIA and regards,

Dave
