Without the support of a good many people, this book would have been far less than it is. It is a great pleasure to thank them. A large team of technical reviewers around the world read drafts, found errors, pointed out confusing explanations, suggested rewordings and diagrams, tested programs, proposed exercises, identified aspects of the behavior of Linux and other UNIX implementations that I was not aware of, and offered support and encouragement. Many reviewers generously supplied insights and comments that I was able to incorporate into the book, at times making me look more knowledge- able than I am. Any mistakes that remain are, of course, my own. Thanks especially to the following reviewers (listed alphabetically by surname), who either commented on large sections of the manuscript, commented extensively on smaller sections of the manuscript, or (magnificently) commented extensively on large sections of the manuscript: z Christophe Blaess is a consulting software engineer and professional trainer who specializes in industrial (realtime and embedded) applications of Linux. Christophe is the author of Programmation système en C sous Linux, a fine French book covering many of the same topics as this book. He generously read and commented on many chapters of my book. z David Butenhof (Hewlett-Packard) was a member of the original working group for POSIX threads and for the Single UNIX Specification threads exten- sions, and is the author of Programming with POSIX Threads. He wrote the original DCE Threads reference implementation for the Open Software Foundation, Preface xxxvii and was lead architect of the threads implementation for OpenVMS and Digital UNIX. David reviewed the threads chapters, suggested many improvements, and patiently corrected several details of my understanding of the POSIX threads API. z Geoff Clare works at The Open Group on their UNIX conformance test suites, has been involved with UNIX standardization for more than 20 years, and is one of half a dozen key participants in the Austin Group, which develops the joint standard that forms POSIX.1 and the base volumes of the Single UNIX Specification. Geoff provided detailed review of parts of the manuscript related to standard UNIX interfaces, patiently and politely suggested numerous fixes and improvements, spotted many obscure bugs, and provided much assis- tance in focusing on the importance of standards for portable programming. z Loïc Domaigné (then at German Air Traffic Control) is a software systems engineer working on the design and development of distributed, concurrent, and fault-tolerant embedded systems with hard realtime requirements. He pro- vided review input for the threads specification in SUSv3, and is an enthusiastic educator and knowledgeable contributor in various online technical forums. Loïc carried out a detailed review of the threads chapters, as well as many other tải về 6.93 Mb. Chia sẻ với bạn bè của bạn:
