Subject: Re: Pthread robust_list for non-pshared mutexes

Hi,

not entirely sure what you mean. All non-normal mutexes get added to the
robust list, yes, but also get removed from the list in
pthread_mutex_unlock(). And the robust list is processed in
pthread_exit(), which all threads must call sooner or later. Only
exception is when a thread crashes, but in that case the entire process
dies, and non-pshared mutexes cease to matter.

If a thread is cancelled, __cancel() will call pthread_exit(). And I
know of no other way for a thread to "end" as you put it.

Ciao,
Markus
