Maybe I just was not careful enough in choosing this phrasing when writing the article.
Do you think it would make sense if I change "but it's far from being solved once and for all." to "each of them with different upsides and downsides."?
- RossBencina 7y agoTrade offs yes. I think I understand now that you meant that it is common that application-level priority inversion is not automatically avoided by the OS -- programmers still need to worry about it. Even if theoretical solutions exist, they may not be available on your chosen platform, or they may need to be manually configured (e.g. PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT).
- Dobiasd 7y agoThanks. I committed a change (https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/8ac8db11eb95de688abbe1e8975e0d40a428df83 https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/8ac8db11eb95de688...). Feel free to open a PR if you have a better phrasing in mind. :)
