- GNU Pth - The GNU Portable Threads
-
- SUPPORT
- =======
-
- If you want to discuss multithreading issues not directly related to
- GNU Pth, post to the USENET newsgroup comp.programming.threads. There
- you can reach mostly all authorities of multithreading.
-
- In case you have problems directly related to GNU Pth or you
- need technical support for programming with GNU Pth, you can
- send a bug report to bug-pth@gnu.org or alternatively write to
- the GNU Pth support mailing list pth-users@gnu.org. There you
- can currently (as of August 2000) reach about 110 Pth users from
- around the world. Old pth-users@gnu.org postings are archived at
- http://www.mail-archive.com/pth-users@gnu.org/.
-
- Although the author tries hard to give the best support which is
- possible in his remaining free time, there cannot be any guarranty
- for help, because the author is a very busy hacker. So in your own
- interest: If you need help in case of a hard problems, keep your
- mail _VERY SHORT_ and _CONCISE_ and clearly mention your operating
- system, your way you have configured and built Pth and provide a
- way to _EASILY_ reproduce the problem. Don't die of laughter here
- - you would be terrified if you would know how much people of the
- authors software packages want help, but do not even mention the
- actual problem :-(
-
- Additionally in case of `segfaults' or other heavy problems, it is
- important that you provide the author a stack frame backtrace (see
- gdb's `bt' command) to allow the author to locate the problem. Without
- this information it is usually not possible to help you in case of
- such problems.
-
- Please understand, that you're not the only user of Pth and that Pth
- is not the only software package written by the author. So it is
- always appreciated that you first investigate yourself in solving the
- problem. If your problem then still remains, follow the above hints
- and contact the author. But please also understand, that application
- problems related to programming with Pth and the multithreaded
- paradigm cannot always be treated as real `problems'.
