Were you planning on writing the thread stuff yourself (no no no) or have KThread be a wrapper class for an existing thread package (yes yes yes)? When you're making your decision about which thread package to use, remember that posix threads just won't cut it. Off the top of my head, I know that libc5 (read: all non-new distros) does *not* have pthreads. I'm sure that quite a few more platforms are similar. GNU Pth might be a good one. It's written by the author of nps (or whatever one Roberto is using for newkrn). -- Kurt Granroth | granroth@kde.org KDE Developer/Evangelist | http://www.pobox.com/~kurt_granroth KDE -- Putting a Friendly Face on Linux
