[tor-commits] [tor/master] Use PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED macro instead of 1: fix Solaris crash



commit 192ed944101174d775d27ac54002ee9bc2708080
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Use PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED macro instead of 1: fix Solaris crash
    
    When calling pthread_attr_setdetachstate, we were using 1 as the
    argument. But the pthreads documentation says that you have to say
    PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACH, which on Solaris is apparently 0x40.  Calling
    pthread_attr_setdetachstate with 1 crashes on Solaris with FLTBOUNDS.
    
    (Because we're so late in the release cycle, I made the code define
    PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED if it doesn't exist, so we aren't likely to
    break any other platforms.)
    
    This bug was introduced when we made threading mandatory in
    0.2.6.1-alpha; previously, we had force-disabled threading on
    Solaris.  See #9495 discussion.
