sdl - suspend/resume thread

is there a way to suspend/resume a thread with the sdl functions (simple directmedia layer)?

i need one thread to be able to suspend another one.

thx in advance

Tell us why it needs to be suspended, might be able to come up with a better answer then.

i just want the suspend and resume functionality from windows - and if possible with sdl.
ive found source code for a suspend and resume function based on pthreads and signals - but that code is rather complicated (it works fine though). since i don't wanna mix pthread and sdl-threads i wonder if its possible to write these two routines using sdl functions.

on second thought, i guess such s/r functions wouldnt be that safe anyway.
like forcing a thread to suspend in a critical state (e.g. after it locked some resource) may cause unwanted behaviour.

so i guess s/r should be more something like a hint to another thread - and the other thread should decide when its safe to suspend (instead of being forced to).

i guess i just want s/r for completeness
