Description
Wednesday Jul 23, 2014 at 18:09 GMT
For earlier discussion, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15927
This issue was labelled with: A-libs in the Rust repository
Trying to find an equivalent to the following C++ code,
struct sched_param p;
p.sched_priority = priority;
pthread_setschedparam(thread_, SCHED_FIFO, &p);
I failed to set the task priority using just exposed API.
brsons statement on IRC,
you can just call the pthread functions, but you'll be creating a thread that doesn't have the runtime setup properly
leaves little doubt that an exposed API for this actually is needed.

Research direction
Start by reading the earlier discussion in rust-lang/rust#15927 and the pthread_setschedparam example in the issue. Determine the exposed API and runtime requirements needed for thread or task priorities; done means an agreed design that addresses the runtime-setup concern.
