This makes one canonical set of EH: SJLJ on 32b and SEH on 64b. Typically something that the user doesn't see. > * Win32 threading > * POSIX threading Not much choice here. Download page now says "C11/C++11 Threading Support" instead of "Win32/POSIX Threading" since this is what it boils down too. Also note that the complaints are almost always to _disable_ the C11/C++11 threading support, never the other way round. In other words, the requests are to get a standard but only 95% of it! PS: I encourage everyone to refer to C11/C++11 threading support rather than posix or win32 threading support when appropriate; the former is what users see while the latter is what devs or tweakers see. -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
