From 3990c5c6a40440cdb14746ac080d0ecf8d5d6733 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:04:55 -0400 Subject: avoid all malloc/free in timer creation/destruction instead of allocating a userspace structure for signal-based timers, simply use the kernel timer id. we use the fact that thread pointers will always be zero in the low bit (actually more) to encode integer timerid values as pointers. also, this change ensures that the timer_destroy syscall has completed before the library timer_destroy function returns, in case it matters. --- arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh') diff --git a/arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh b/arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh index cd84a2da..b0aecd9c 100755 --- a/arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh +++ b/arch/x86_64/bits/alltypes.h.sh @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ TYPEDEF long long blkcnt_t; TYPEDEF unsigned long long fsblkcnt_t; TYPEDEF unsigned long long fsfilcnt_t; -TYPEDEF struct __timer * timer_t; +TYPEDEF void * timer_t; TYPEDEF int clockid_t; TYPEDEF long clock_t; -- cgit v1.2.1
