>Question/Comment:
>I work in a test lab. I was trying to compile IPERF 2.0.2 under Solaris 8
using the gcc compiler that comes with the Solaris 8 CDs and encountered a
problem preventing IPERF from compiling. It is the line "pthread_cancel
(oldTID);" in Thread.c. Solaris 8 has a system call for pthread_cancel (so
HAVE_POSIX_THREAD and HAVE_PTHREAD_CANCEL were defined). In
/usr/include/pthread.h, since standard C is being used, the Solaris 8
system call definition is extern int pthread_cancel (pthread_t).
>
>In Thread.c "oldTID" is never defined or set so that causes a fatal
compile error. I could get IPERF to compile by changing the line
"pthread_cancel (oldTID);" to "pthread_cancel(thread->mTID);" but I don't
know if that is what the IPERF authors intended to do. I suppose I could
also comment out the line, but don't know what the side effects would be.
What do you suggest?

everyone else's IPERF. Is IPERF 2.0.2 ready for production use or should I
go back to IPERF 1.7.0?
