Yeah the synch and mutex code is just ugly.</p> <p>I have good contacts at Aldec and will get them to try teal on windows. I know they use teal on Linux in their regression suite.</p> <p>If you can get me a stack dump of the crash I will take a look. </p> <p>As for truss, can you get me the error from the compiler. I agree that I made a bad assumption that pthread_t was an integral type. You can see in the run_loop class (just below the thread class in truss_thread.h) that I use a bool to track the state. </p> <p>As for the redundant code in stop(), the idea it to protect if you call stop() again. pthread does not handle a second cancel or join very well.</p> <p>Aldec is a proper simulator.</p> <p>It seem to me you are following the code quite well ! I have been coding c++ for 20 years now and would not consider myself an expert.</p> <p>I will get back to you when I hear from aldec.</p> <p>Take Care,<br /> mike </p> http://forums.trusster.com/topic/active-hdl-windows#post-30 Tue, 04 May 2010 04:10:34 +0000 shimrod 30@http://forums.trusster.com/ <p>Hi </p> <p>Im trying to get teal (1.40b) and Truss to work with Active HDL 8.2 under windows XP, with pthreads.2 and the mingw gcc compiler that comes with the simulator.<br /> I have managed to compile teal (PLI 1) and some of the tests passes. However the mutex_test crashes the simulator. I tried to play with the number of threads and up to 4 works. When I change the no of iterations to 1 I can create many (250) threads. So it seems to me that something with the mutex fails. </p> <p>Regarding Truss, I can't compile since the different implementation of pthread_t.<br /> Truss seems to rely on the id being 0 after thread cancelled?<br /> Also this seems redundant since teal::stop_Thread is calling both ptrhead_cancel and pthread_join.</p> <p>Anyone who has some ideas? Or should I give up and move to linux and a proper simulator?</p> <p>Im not an C++ (or C) expert and the code is quite complex to follow.</p> <p>Thanks and best regards<br /> Rolf </p>
