    Are pthread robust mutexes supported on AIX?   After some comprehensive searching of StackOverflow and other resources, it appears that I am not the only person looking for this support.   There are several OpenSource packages that can exploit these, if present.

    I'm particularly interested in the following calls:

    • pthread_mutexattr_setrobust
    • pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np
    • pthread_mutex_consistent
    • pthread_mutex_consistent_np

    My dev machines are AIX 7.1 and XLC 13.   Went through all of the thread libraries and I'm not seeing the symbols exported.
