Cross your finger and pray hard I'm getting from blurb.
You compile the library you're linking against with one threading
model, thus with with a thread model that affect things like stack
unwinding. You compile your program with a different threading model,
thus with a different model that affect stack unwiding.
Link them together and say I'm getting from blurb?
With all respect, unless you can show an example that breaks I believe
you are wrong in this case. Which of the two libraries is used has no
effect on stack unwinding on SunOS. Both the Solaris threads library
and the POSIX threads library on SunOS are compatible and functionally
interchangeable, meaning that programs can use them both at the same
time, mixing calls to functions from one and the other. I have a large
body of tested code that shows no problems with either option using
the same compiler. I suggest you read the Sun docs before spreading
this kind of FUD. Here's a link that might be helpful:
