<br>
Just in time for the holidays I have created a couple of patches for FreeBSD-Current to add apple-like pthread workqueues.   You can find the patches at:<br>
<br>
        <a href="http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/thrworkq/" target="_blank">http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/thrworkq/</a><br>
<br>
The first patch (kern_thrworkq_*.diff) adds the kernel support and thr_workq() system call.  To compile it into the kernel &quot;options THRWORKQ&quot; needs to be added to the kernel config file.  The second patch (pthread_workqueue_*.diff) is for the libthr code and adds the pthread_workqueue_*_np() functions.  (See <a href="http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/thrworkq/pthread_workqueue.3.txt" target="_blank">http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/thrworkq/pthread_workqueue.3.txt</a> for the man page.)   I have only done a limited amount of testing so I am sure there are bugs.   Any questions, comments, bug reports, and/or patches are welcomed.<br>

<br>
Thanks,<br>
