Greets,

When I look at the latest code, I find that _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
is not implemented. May I know if there is any particular reason for
that? (i.e., win32 does not support such a feature.)

Regards,

--ye

Hi Ye,

That's correct. Although Win32 has sync primitives that can be
shared (named mutexes etc), I think we need a POSIX shared
memory implementation before we can implement POSIX style
_POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED mutexes, CVs, semaphores, and
barriers.
