(http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/) is compiled with VC++6
then it compiles and passes all the benchmark tests in the

but here the following
tests fail in execution:
# semaphore1.pass \
# condvar2.pass \
# condvar2_1.pass \
# mutex8.pass \
# mutex8n.pass \

# rwlock3_t.pass \
# rwlock4_t.pass \
# rwlock5_t.pass \
# rwlock6_t.pass \
# rwlock6_t2.pass \
# spin4.pass \
Why are there such differences in execution of the generated code
between VC++6 and VC++2005 ? Is this due to bugs in the beta1,
or is this the result of general differences between the two products?
Are there any compiler/linker switches for backwards "compatibility"
to VC++6?
You're going to need to post a lot more details to get a satisfying answer,
unless a pthreads-win32 expert happens to read this newsgroup.
I'd suggest examining a single failure in depth with the goal of producing a
simple small program that behaves differently on VC6 versus VC8 beta 1 (also
note that beta 2 was released lasts Friday).
Here is the result of the compile and test execution process for VC++2005.
I have appended also the code location of the first failed test (semaphore1.c).
As said, VC++6 compiles and passes all tests, whereas VC++2005 fails
with many of the tests.

to use its tools from the command line, run vsvars32.bat for that version.)

The first error happens with semaphore1.exe (semaphore1.c line 89):
void *
thr(void * arg)
{
sem_t s;
int result;
assert(sem_init(&s, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, 0) == 0);
assert((result = sem_trywait(&s)) == -1);
if ( result == -1 )
{
perror("thread: sem_trywait 1: expected error"); // No error
assert(errno == EAGAIN);
It is the last assert which fails in the first of the failing test programs.
