DECthreads and thread-safe OpenVMS calls?

» close window

The Question is:

 
 
I am experiencing difficulty calling CONV$RECLAIM() from a thread (actually
 several at once).  The function works fine when called from the main thread.
 
This is displayed and the process is terminated:
-CONV-F-OPENIN, error opening !AS as input
%DECthreads bugcheck (version V3.15-261), terminating execution.
% Reason:  lckHandoff:  not owner; lock = 0x0000000000126118, value = 0x00000000
00000000, expected = 0x000000007BB7C6E0
% Running on OpenVMS V7.2-1 on AlphaServer 8200 5/440, -2048Mb; 2 CPUs
 
Is it possible that CONV$RECLAIM() not supported under DECThreads?
 
Thanks,
John
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  This call and various other run-time library (RTL) calls are not
  supported in a DECthreads threading environment; these calls are
  not considered to be thread-safe.
 
  Topics of interest here will include (1661), (4647), and (6099)
