Greetings,

I was wondering if its possible to use the C11 atomics library for 
multithreading

GCC. Not sure if its a good idea due to concerns about older plaforms 
not having

a C11 supported libraries or compiler.

If not then the best way is pthreads key support and other posix thread 
supports.

Thanks,

Nick
