New Features

The following features have been added at HP DCE 1.8:

• 32 / 64 bit DCE Application Development with kernel Threads. HP DCE Version 1.8 core

services comes with 32 bit and 64 bit DCE kernel threaded libraries to support Application

Development with kernel Threads.

To use HP-UX kernel Threads, DCE applications should either deﬁne the pre-compiler

name

_POSIX_D10_THREADS

or deﬁne

_POSIX_C_SOURCE = 1995061

DCE Applications built based on kernel threads, which use exception handling

mechanisms must include the header ﬁles <pthread_exc.h> and <exc_handling.h> and

include the path /usr/include/ before /usr/include/dce (or

/opt/dce/include/dce) in the search path for DCE applications using the user-level

threads library. However, on the same machine (s) where the kernel Threads Development

Tools have been installed users must use /usr/include/dce/ (or

/opt/dce/include/dce) before /usr/include in the search path for compilation.

Kernel Threads based DCE applications must link with the following libraries

1. /usr/lib/libdcekt.sl

2. /usr/lib/libpthread.sl
