Especially since the nsapi docs for systhread_start only tell us that the prio is an int depending on the platform and the only other source of information, nsapi.h only contains a single defined prio, which is SYSTHREAD_DEFAULT_PRIORITY. The other constants PR_PRIORITY_... are defined in nspr/prthread.h and are enum elements of type PRThreadPriority which formally don't qualify as arguments to systhread_start(int prio, int stksz, void (*fn)(void *), void *arg) which needs an int. > Do you guys think this is worth a bugzilla report to track and consider > changing jk_nsapi_plugin.c to use the NSPR PR_PRIORITY_* values or is it > better to wait and see if Oracle fixes their code? I'm still not fully convinced, that PR_PRIORITY_* is correct and isn't just working because PR_PRIORITY_NORMAL=1 is such a low number. When you use PR_PRIORITY_NORMAL, can you see which priority the created thread actually has? Probably using truss, since I think the thread doesn't live long enough to be observable using "ps" with the "-L" flag for threads and adding "pri" to the output format. Nevertheless opening a bugzilla seems to be OK for tracking our progress on this and making the problem publicly available. We might later decide on resolving it as invalid though ;) > The response times I'm getting from them aren't great and they haven't > acknowledged my requests that this be considered a bug the 2 or 3 times > I've asked. Well known problem, though I'm positively surprised you got such a technically precise answer.
