Some of pthreads calls mapped easily to NT calls, some were difficult. > Re: cygwin32 not being thread safe-- > should this make a difference for user level threads? This is why I *used* to use the code. There was inter-thread corruption as well as inter-process corruption due to the non-thread safeness of cygwin32. I was unwilling to tackle the thread-safeness problems because of cygwin license issues.
