Re: unexpected end of file :-(

[Ross Johnson <rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au>]

Hi Bastian,

There haven't been any other reports of this problem. Are 
you using a snapshot version of the pthreads-win32 library, 
or a version out of CVS?

One other thing I notice though - you said that when you 
#define all the pthread functions that you use it works, but 
you have defined
#define pthread_cleanup_push(a,b)
and no
#define pthread_cleanup_pop(a)

Is that an omission? The way these are defined is as a pair 
that forms the start and end of a block. That is, push with 
no pop will create an unbalanced { ... }, and that could be 
the problem.

Regards.
Ross
