I think it would go a long way toward making portable threaded applications less of a hassle. But don't you think this thread would be better suited to the General Discussions forum?

pthreads-win32 is a C library used by C coders in C applications.
They're part of the (OpenGroup) Single Unix Specification and
have been standardized by such organisations as ANSI, ISO,
IEEE and POSIX.
What's general about them?
Threads are certainly a hot topic I think, for C programmers!
Would be nice. I'm getting into multi-threading and am using the pth library from GNU. I would love to be able to use the same basic functions in windows once I decide to go that way
Thantos.
Cool. I've been looking at pthreads for the past month.
So far I've only utilised the basic functions like pthread_create,
pthread_join, pthread_exit, pthread_mutex_*, pthread_cond_*
There seems to be much to learn with these few functions alone
in regard to avoiding race conditions, deadlocks, etc.
If anyone is interested in pthreads here's a tutorial,

Also if anyone has or can recommend a good pthread tutorial I'd
appreciate it.
