- PTHREADS-WIN32 RELEASE 2.8.0 (2006-12-22)
- -----------------------------------------
- Web Site: http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
- FTP Site: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32
- Maintainer: Ross Johnson <rpj@callisto.canberra.edu.au>
- We are pleased to announce the availability of a new release of
- Pthreads-win32, an Open Source Software implementation of the
- Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1 2001 Standard for Microsoft's
- Win32 environment. Some functions from other sections of POSIX
- 1003.1 2001 are also supported including semaphores and scheduling
- functions.
- Some common non-portable functions are also implemented for
- additional compatibility, as are a few functions specific
- to pthreads-win32 for easier integration with Win32 applications.
- Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser
- General Public License (LGPL).
- Acknowledgements
- ----------------
- This library is based originally on a Win32 pthreads
- implementation contributed by John Bossom <John.Bossom@cognos.com>.
- The implementation of Condition Variables uses algorithms developed
- by Alexander Terekhov and Louis Thomas.
- The implementation of POSIX mutexes has been improved by Thomas Pfaff
- and later by Alexander Terekhov.
- The implementation of Spinlocks and Barriers was contributed
- by Ross Johnson.
- The implementation of read/write locks was contributed by
- Aurelio Medina and improved by Alexander Terekhov.
- Many others have contributed significant time and effort to solve crutial
- problems in order to make the library workable, robust and reliable.
- Thanks to Xavier Leroy for granting permission to use and modify his
- LinuxThreads manual pages.
- Thanks to The Open Group for making the Single Unix Specification
- publicly available - many of the manual pages included in the package
- were extracted from it.
- There is also a separate CONTRIBUTORS file. This file and others are
- on the web site:
- http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32
- As much as possible, the ChangeLog file acknowledges contributions to the
- code base in more detail.

- complete source code.
- The source code can be found at:
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32
- and as individual source code files at
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/source
- The pre-built DLL, export libraries and include files can be found at:
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/dll-latest
-
- Mailing List
- ------------
-
- There is a mailing list for discussing pthreads on Win32. To join,
- send email to:

- Application Development Environments
- ------------------------------------
- See the README file for more information.
-
- MSVC:
- MSVC using SEH works. Distribute pthreadVSE.dll with your application.
- MSVC using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadVCE.dll with your application.
- MSVC using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadVC.dll with your application.
- Mingw32:
- See the FAQ, Questions 6 and 10.
- Mingw using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadGCE.dll with your application.
- Mingw using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadGC.dll with your application.
- Cygwin: (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/)
- Developers using Cygwin will not need pthreads-win32 since it has POSIX threads
- support. Refer to its documentation for details and extent.
- UWIN:
- UWIN is a complete Unix-like environment for Windows from AT&T. Pthreads-win32
- doesn't currently support UWIN (and vice versa), but that may change in the
- future.
- Generally:
- For convenience, the following pre-built files are available on the FTP site
- (see Availability above):
- pthread.h - for POSIX 1c threads
- semaphore.h - for POSIX 1b semaphores
- sched.h - for POSIX 1b scheduling
- pthreadVCE.dll - built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
- pthreadVCE.lib
- pthreadVC.dll - built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
- pthreadVC.lib
- pthreadVSE.dll - built with MSVC compiler using SEH
- pthreadVSE.lib
- pthreadGCE.dll - built with Mingw32 G++ 2.95.2-1
- pthreadGC.dll - built with Mingw32 GCC 2.95.2-1 using setjmp/longjmp
- libpthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll
- libpthreadGC.a - derived from pthreadGC.dll
- gcc.dll - needed if distributing applications that use
- pthreadGCE.dll (but see the FAQ Q 10 for the latest
- related information)
- These are the only files you need in order to build POSIX threads
- applications for Win32 using either MSVC or Mingw32.
- See the FAQ file in the source tree for additional information.
- Documentation
- -------------
- For the authoritative reference, see the online POSIX
- standard reference at:
- http://www.OpenGroup.org
- For POSIX Thread API programming, several reference books are
- available:
- Programming with POSIX Threads
- David R. Butenhof
- Addison-Wesley (pub)
- Pthreads Programming
- By Bradford Nichols, Dick Buttlar & Jacqueline Proulx Farrell
- O'Reilly (pub)
- On the web: see the links at the bottom of the pthreads-win32 site:
- http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
- Currently, there is no documentation included in the package apart
- from the copious comments in the source code.
- Enjoy!
