Right from the beginning I have problems with the posix implementation

of RTEMS 4.12 when using the EPICS sources

in osi/os/posix. Especially in osdThread.c.

There is the function epicsThreadGetIdSelf. I have extended this

function with a read to the threadInfoList to get the actual threadInfo

if the thread local threadInfo is not available (This happens in normal

operation several times and I have no idea why).

I thought originally that has something to do with pthread_getspecific

and I tried it with thread-local-variables "__thread" but with

the same result. Even the __thread variable sometimes had the value zero

(it looks like it happens to the same places as with pthread_getspecific).

With my attempt to read the list, it is quite confident

(createImplicite() gets never called) but I would gladly find the true

error ;-)

Any Ideas what might go wrong?

    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Houps ... will try to find it in the list ...\n");
        pthreadInfo = epicsThreadGetIdByTid(pthread_self());
        if(pthreadInfo==NULL)

 {fprintf(stderr, " !!! Call createImplicit in

epicsThreadGetIdSelf\n"); createImplicit();}

    }
    assert( pthreadInfo );
    return(pthreadInfo);
}

    return(pthreadInfo);
}
