Re: [Gc] [PATCH] define HANDLE_FORK on unix platforms with pthreads

[Ivan Maidanski]

Hi Andy,

It seems you're proposing the right thing but I guess your patch could break build for some targets (there are some many Unix targets supported like xBSD, RTEMS, NaCl, Android, Darwin, DG/UX, HP/UX, Aix, Irix, Solaris... - does at least pthread_atfork exist everywhere?

Regards.
