1532.0. "pthread_attr_setscope for Ovms?" by CSC32::J_HENSON (Don't get even, get ahead!) Fri Apr 25 1997 16:44

My turn for a dumb question.

Is there a OVMS equivalent of pthread_attr_setscope?  If so, what is it?

Thanks,

Yes, it's called pthread_attr_setscope().  :-)

OpenVMS supports process contention scope, which is also the default. 
Nevertheless, you may set it explicitly, if you like.  

Since OpenVMS "kernel threads" are not intended for direct use by applications
-- you can only create very few of them in each process -- we do not support
system contention scope on OpenVMS.  (Why would you want it??)
