RE: Questions re sync_reset_on/off

That's an excellent catch John. It would make sense to allow sync_reset_on and sync_reset_off calls on a method process when include_descendants flag is set, and issue a warning when the flag is not set. Would that be consistent?

Thanks,

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.]
<snip>

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?
