Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2007-07-28 22:10:07 UTC 
The translator and the runtime likely need to switch to the raw* variants
of basic lock types, to prevent preemption or whatnot from the -rt code.
This will probably require a new runtime/autoconf-FOO based macro.

Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2009-03-06 17:27:58 UTC 
Testing against the -rt git trees indicates nothing terribly wrong with what
we're doing now.
