Hi! It's me again with problems with valgrind.

When I run an application under valgrind the application hands on the first xTaskCreate. I debugged the port code and noticed that the code stalls here:

portSTACK_TYPE *pxPortInitialiseStack( portSTACK_TYPE *pxTopOfStack, pdTASK_CODE pxCode, void *pvParameters )
{
    ...
        pthread_mutex_unlock( &xSingleThreadMutex );

        while ( xSentinel == 0 );
    ...
}

xSentinel is set inside SIG_SUSPEND signal handler.

Does valgrind spoil somehow the use of signals?

I've never had valgrind hang for me. It takes forever to start up and execution is much slower, but no hangs. Could you post an example that demonstrates the problem?

Hi Guys, I am stuck also on valgrind's serializing of pthreads preventing this linux port from working. Any tips?

Ok actually based on Mike's comments it takes forever, if you wait long enough (minutes hours??), it works well.
