We therefore have to resort to a violent technique used // already successfully for MPW support: On CFM, we override the default entry point and // use the CFM manager to find the real implementation. // // For non-CFM, we unfortunately don't have such an effective technique, since the // thread manager is called through traps (and no, I'm not going to patch any traps // for this). You will therefore have to recompile your foreign libraries with // a precompiled header that includes \texttt{GUSIForeignThreads.h}. // // = #ifndef _GUSIForeignThreads_ #define _GUSIForeignThreads_ #define NewThread(style, entry, param, stack, options, result, made) \ GUSINewThread((style), (entry), (param), (stack), (options), (result), (made)) #define SetThreadSwitcher(thread, switcher, param, inOrOut) \ GUSISetThreadSwitcher((thread), (switcher), (param), (inOrOut)) #define SetThreadTerminator(thread, threadTerminator, terminationProcParam) \ GUSISetThreadTerminator((thread), (threadTerminator), (terminationProcParam)) #endif /* _GUSIForeignThreads_ */
