Is pthread_t check for non-integers still necessary?
Dear developers,
Is the deactivation of non-integer pthread_t types by commit 756d286f still valid?
I am asking because I removed the pthread_t integer check in the configure script for compiling sane-backends on FreeBSD 12 and, thereafter, the compilation still succeeded. At a first quick glance, sanei_thread.c looks fine. In which situations will non-integer types of pthread_t crash sane?
Edit no. 1:
The two backends below require the pthread library according to configure
:
*** kvs40xx backend requires pthread library - disabling
[...]
*** mustek_usb2 backend requires pthread library - disabling
Kind regards,
Martin
