RE: Questions re sync_reset_on/off

Bishnupriya,

<snip>
* You say it is an error to call sync_reset_on for a method process. What
about sync_reset_off? Is that an error too, or is the implementation
allowed to just ignore it?
[bpriya: good question. I don't feel strongly, but would vote for
sync_reset_off() on a method process is not an error.]

Hmmm. What about include_descendants? If sync_reset_on and/or
sync_reset_off were an error for method processes and you had children of
mixed gender, you would get an error trying to modify their sync state
using include_descendants. On the other hand, if both sync_reset_on and
sync_reset_off were ignored for method processes, handling mixed gender
children would be fine - the call would simply pick out the thread
processes.

WHYT?
