I believe this is correct -- both from reading the source code, and from test programs that I have written. > In fact it stores the parent TID (verified on a live > system). How did you verify this? > The following note on the same page implies that this behavior is > intentional, and the documentation incorrect: > "the parent thread ID will be written in case CLONE_PARENT_SETTID" It is the above part of the manual page that I believe is incorrect.
