PTHREADS-WIN32 RELEASE 2.9.0 (2012-05-25)
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
Web Site: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/
|
||||
FTP Site: ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32
|
||||
Maintainer: Ross Johnson <ross.johnson@loungebythelake.net>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32
|
||||
|
||||
As much as possible, the ChangeLog file acknowledges contributions to the
|
||||
code base in more detail.

Availability
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The prebuilt DLL, export libs (for both MSVC and Mingw32), and the header
|
||||
files (pthread.h, semaphore.h, sched.h) are available along with the
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mailing List
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
There is a mailing list for discussing pthreads on Win32. To join,
|
||||
send email to:
|
||||
|
||||
pthreads-win32-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com

||||
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 do 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 threads
|
||||
semaphore.h - for POSIX semaphores
|
||||
sched.h - for POSIX 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
|
||||

|
||||
standard reference at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.OpenGroup.org
|

For POSIX Thread API programming, several reference books are
|

available:

|
||||
|
||||
Currently, there is no documentation included in the package apart
|
||||
from the copious comments in the source code.
|
||||

|
||||
Enjoy!
