PTHREAD_MUTEX_SHARED on Cygwin

[Thomas Koenig]

Hi,

there is a branch of gfortran for implementing coarrays based on a
shared memory implementation instead of MPI, the devel_coarray/native
branch.

I tried it out on Cygwin, but it doesn't work there (hangs on the
first sync).

The branch uses pthread mutexes and condition variables
with PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED for synchronization between processes.

I also ran the attached test program, which gave the output

pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&mattr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED)failed: No error


Is it correct that PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED is not supported on
Cygwin?  Is it supported for condition variables, or is the fact
that it is reported as working an oversight?

If PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED does not work, are there known workarounds?

Best regards

	Thomas
