Hey Jorge,

just a quick answer, but I am ina hurry

I have solaris, I have gcc. so I can test and compile. I have also MkLinux which is linux where threads are mapped to mach threads (linux on mach microkernel).

What source code should I run? How do i check for memory leaks (no valgrind for solaris)...

I posted it to the mailing list with instructions. You can find it here: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-November/002436.html The mail thread starts at: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-November/002429.html BTW, I'm making some tests in dillo using the results explained there, and the results are impressive: For instance: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND jcid 3234 2.5 13.9 663804 13116 pts/15 S+ 11:59 0:05 ./dillo jcid 3238 0.0 13.9 663804 13116 pts/15 S+ 11:59 0:00 ./dillo (see the huge virtual size? It's a simple page with lots of tiny images). The same dillo, this time using the explicit detached-attribute pthread creation technique, gives: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND jcid 3792 11.8 11.0 14116 10448 pts/15 S+ 12:49 0:07 ./dillo jcid 3793 0.3 11.0 14116 10448 pts/15 S+ 12:49 0:00 ./dillo Same code, same page. Something really weird is going on here! Does anyone know the email of the pthreads library maintainer? -- Cheers Jorge.-
