Hi,
Just stumbled across this: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
It's a package that implements the POSIX multithread API on top of the
Win32 API. Looks quite mature. License is LGPL, but copyright holder is not
the FSF.
Compared to the 'lock' and 'tls' modules that I wrote, it's much more
complete, and - also very important - people can stick to the POSIX API
without compromises.
What should we do with it?
- Include it in gnulib ?
- Create a module that causes gnulib-tool to download its sources
(i.e. make gnulib-tool behave as if it was included in gnulib, but
without actually importing the sources into the gnulib.git)?
- Only mention it in the documentation?
