Re: [Xenomai-help] Xenomai 2.0.1 - Posix Skin - realtime priorities - what I'm doing wrong?

Ok, after having clicked ion the send button, I also discovered that 
NPTL uses INHERIT_SCHED by default in the pthread attributes
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145

I added it to the original examples, and I obtained the following 
(basically it is similar to the Case 1 depicted before...)

Linux Real-Time Threads

[root@domain.hid xenomai-demos]# ./ex_rr
LOW priority thread!!!
...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########...........###########............############...........###########...........###########.....#####LOW 
priority thread!!!
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................############################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################[root@domain.hid
xenomai-demos]#

--> that's fine;

Xenomai Threads:

[root@domain.hid xenomai-demos]# ./rt_ex_rr
LOW priority thread!!!
.....###................................................................................###############################################################################...............................................................................################################################################################................................................................................###############################################################################........................................................###########################################################............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................LOW 
priority thread!!!
############################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################[root@domain.hid
xenomai-demos]#

That is not what should be :-(

Again, in this case there may be an additional influence of using the 
stdio with mutexes and so on...

bye

Paolo
