We have a long-running issue related to pthread use in SANE backends.<br>
See here: <a href="https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/153" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/153</a><br>
<br>
I proposed a change to sanei_thread to try to sort some of these issues <br>
while improving detection of builds that abuse the restrictions <br>
surrounding pthread_t values. That proposal is here: <br>

<br>
Povilas and I had some discussions about this solution and given the <br>
impending release of 1.2.1, someone has expressed a desire to see these <br>
issues solved, particularly as they relate to MacOS, which is properly <br>
broken at the moment. :(<br>
<br>
Could I get some further comments on the proposed solution and I would <br>
especially appreciate if we could see some testing of that branch <br>
solution on platforms other than Linux?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
