Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA, which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended). I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff. The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags. also: Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions. The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with libc. also: I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page. It allows people to type make -DWANT_LIBC_R world to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r. also: The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3. The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

+.El
+.Sh INSTALLATION
+The current FreeBSD POSIX thread implementation is built in the library
+.Fa libc_r
+which contains both thread-safe libc functions and the thread functions.
+This library replaces
+.Fa libc
+for threaded applications.
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Fa libc_r
+is not built as part of a 'make world'. To build and install it, type:
+.Bl -item -offset indent
+.It
+cd /usr/src/lib/libc_r
+.It
+make depend && make all && make install
+.El
+.Pp
+This assumes you have a full source tree below /usr/src and that you have at
+least installed the header files in the way that 'make world' does.
+.Pp
+If you wish to install
+.Fa libc_r
+as part of 'make world', type:
+.Bl -item -offset indent
+.It
+cd /usr/src
+.It
+make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
+.El
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The functions in
+.Fa libc_r
+with the
+.Fa pthread_
+prefix and no
+.Fa _np
+suffix are expected to conform to IEEE
+.Pq Dq Tn POSIX
+Std 1003.1c when it is published.
+.Pp
+The functions in libc_r with the
+.Fa pthread_
+prefix and
+.Fa _np
+suffix are non-portable extensions to POSIX threads.
