I’m porting a QNX4 app to QNX6 and has a class which was used in two
seperate threads (Now converted to pthreads) In one section of code I had
the following:
pid_t pid = qnx_name_locate(0,“my_thread”,0,NULL);
if (pid == CurrentPid() )
else
In otherwords I have something like:
If your in a thread named ‘my_thread’ do one thing, else do something
else
how would I do this in QNX6. I can’t seem to find a way to get the pid of a
specific process.
PS: the original qnx_name_attach(0,“my_thread”) has now been changed to
name_attach(NULL,“my_thread”,0);

Hmmm… since you’ve now converted it to threads, one assumes that you
did that with a pthread_create. One of the parameters to pthread_create()
is a thread_id that can be filled with the thread ID of the newly created
thread. If you were to use that in conjunction with pthread_self() (I think)
you could test which thread you were. Or, you can pass a parameter to
the newly created threads, effectively a flag indicating the “do this” or
“do something else” part…

Look at ConnectServerInfo(), it returns you the infomation of the
server, that the fd (returned from name_open()) point to.
However, I am not sure you can name_open() yourself, cause that needs
special flag (_RESMGR_FLAG_SELF) on attach, unless of cause, the proc
did something special for you.
