What is the status of LinuxThreads?
LinuxThreads implements almost all of Posix 1003.1c, as well as a few extensions. The only part of LinuxThreads that does not conform yet to Posix is signal handling (see section J). Apart from the signal stuff, all the Posix 1003.1c base functionality, as well as a number of optional extensions, are provided and conform to the standard (to the best of my knowledge). The signal stuff is hard to get right, at least without special kernel support, and while I’m definitely looking at ways to implement the Posix behavior for signals, this might take a long time before it’s completed.
