[Asterisk-bsd] Stack size in pthreads

[Konstantin Prokazoff]

Welcome!

    Our patches are ready (.diff), which adds required code for *BSD and do
nothing for linux.
    Still testing, amount of .diff = about 15 (all channels, applications
and asterisk core).
    Now, we trying to resolve scheduling problems in *BSD (debug output
about bad UDP packets).
    I can (will) post .diff's today, which are resolves stack size problem.
    Sorry, I can't test requirements in stack resizing on other *BSDs, can
anyone check?
Simplest code are (simple.c):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

int main() {
    pthread_attr_t    attr;
    size_t                stacksize;
    pthread_attr_init(&attr);
    pthread_attr_getstacksize(&attr, &stacksize);
    printf("Default stack size for thread: %u\n", stacksize);
    return 0;
}

BR,
    Oryx.
