Re: [ts-7000] Re: TS7300, Serials and pthread

I've had similar experiences with pthreads. I will avoid them because of
it.
What you may be seeing is not the wrong port, but the wrong data making it
appear you have the wrong port. Avoid using global variables with pthreads.

Hi Charlie,
tried the -D_REENTRANT...no luck.

Whenever the other thread starts, data destined for COM4 goes out
over COM3 and I can't read from either port.

I'm assuming that somewhere in the code I've got some non thread
safe calls but am probably staring at the code too long to see them.

The glibc is a standard build that comes with the TS-7300...I'm
using the pthread library in it....LinuxThreads.
