Re: [LI] Threads

[Shourya Sarcar <sarcar@xxxxxxxx>]

Yup.. that was exactly the reason I was asking for some info on pthreads.
However, the problem remains. Pthreads is not 100 % portable on all POSIX
compliant systems.. there are POSIX compliant threading libraries but not
100% source code compliance can be achieved.

Another interesting case is WIN NT.. it supports threads AND is POSIX
compliant but does not support the POSIX 1003.c thread standard!!


Thanks anyway ..

Shourya
