critical impact:

pthread_getsequence_np and pthread_getselfseq_np - not supported; temporarily available (CrUn98)

Problem description

The pthread_getsequence_np and pthread_getselfseq_np routines exist only on Tru64 UNIX, and not on HP-UX. These routines are in the Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment for HP-UX.

The Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment contains Tru64 UNIX APIs, development tools, and commands and utilities to assist customers in migrating their applications from Tru64 UNIX to HP-UX.

Identifiers

pthread_getselfseq_np

pthread_getsequence_np

Old behavior

The purpose of the pthread_getsequence_np and pthread_getselfseq_np routines is to generate computable or printable representations of thread identifier values (pthread_t). The sequence numbers correspond to the debug environment identifiers (for example, ladebug show thread n).

Solution description

The pthread_getsequence_np and pthread_getselfseq_np routines are in the Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment for HP-UX.

Applications will be able to use these routines from the Migration Environment. Note that the Migration Environment is temporary. There are currently no supported equivalent routines on HP-UX.
