Hi all,
Anyone know of a port of pthreads for gnu-win32 or if gnu-win32
supports posix threads?
Thanks in advance
Rick Blair

As far as I know, gnu-win32 does not support threads; I'm pretty sure that
the C library it uses, `newlib', is not thread-safe.
It is a pity that Cygnus didn't use the GNU C library, which supports
threads, and (from what I have heard) is generally better than newlib.
I believe the main motivation for using newlib was copyright issues.

AFAIK no and no and no I don't know of anyone working on such a thing.
Sorry.
