Re: [xml] Differences in DOM parsing on Windows and UNIX?

["Ed Day" <eday obj-sys com>]

The problem appears to be that xmlIsMainThread does not work on Solaris.  I
put the following diag messages into the code:

#ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_H
   result = (mainthread == pthread_self());
   printf ("mainthread = %x, pthread_self() = %x, result = %d\n",
           mainthread, pthread_self(), result);
   return (result);
   /* return(mainthread == pthread_self()); */
   ...

The result of this printf is as follows:

mainthread = 0, pthread_self() = 1, result = 0

Ed Day
