Subject: CLONE_DETACHED
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 03:17:23 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <UTC200401170217.i0H2HNt16225.aeb@smtp.cwi.nl> (raw)
My current version of the clone.2 manual page says
CLONE_THREAD
(Linux 2.4 onwards) If CLONE_THREAD is set, the
child is placed in the same thread group as the
calling process. Now in 2.6 also the meaningless
CLONE_DETACHED (introduced in 2.5.32) must be set.
I wonder whether it is too late to remove CLONE_DETACHED entirely.
There are precisely two occurrences: the definition and the check
that it is set when CLONE_THREAD is set. Seems fairly useless.
