Dear Luis,
Dear Bob:
I've removed ifdefs from s_lock.h trying if semop using was define
problem,
but it's still using semop
any suggest?No, I see the same compilation as you do with 7.2. It's using the
spinlocks

for some locks, but semaphores for others. I don't know what to
do next. Alas... --Bob+-----------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Robert E. Bruccoleri, Ph.D. | email: bruc@acm.org | | P.O. Box 314 | URL: http://www.congen.com/~bruc | | Pennington, NJ 08534 | | +-----------------------------+------------------------------------+

That doesn't make any sense to me. For one thing, if HAS_TEST_AND_SET
is defined in the config header, the executable will just plain fail to
build if there's no tas implementation, because lmgr/spin.c won't be
compiled. And I sure don't see how some of the locks might be
implemented one way and some the other.
Which ones do you think are being implemented as semaphores, and what's
your evidence?
