I had to make some minor -- essentially trivial -- patches to the particular build of mingw-w64 that I was using, but it wasn't much. When I compiled my std::thread applications (with the pthreads-win32 solution), I didn't have to use the "-static" option. Ruben, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the main reasons for writing winpthreads were to avoid the pthreads-win32 licensing issues, and to implement the pthread handle as a scalar (pointer) (as is typical in most unix implementations), rather than as a structure (as in pthreads-win32), to gain greater compatibility with existing pthreads-based code. That is to say, I don't believe winpthreads -- the new implementation of pthreads -- was needed to get std::thread working, but was done for other reasons. As far as I can tell, with the exception of tweaking the handle issue, the version of std::thread that ships with gcc works almost out of the box with pthreads-win32. niXman, if your use case is to use std::thread with mingw-w64 and pthreads-win32, I should be able to refer you to some earlier posts that show how to do it, and could probably give you some pointers if you hit snags. > ... > Ruben Best.
