OK, the subject sounded vaguely familiar, so when I Googled it, I found my
own posting back in 2009 asking the same questions. :-) I'll extend the
wiki multi-threading page with the answers that was given last time.
Just another question. Windows gets its threading support from the Win API.
Similar for OS/2. Doesn't the Linux kernel have a similar threading API, or
do they just rely on the C library?
If not, then I gather the C library (libc, glibc or whatever is used these
days) implemented threading in C code using the POSIX spec as the guide. So
couldn't one implement the POSIX spec (thinking of threading support only)
in pure Object Pascal?
Yes, but that would probably be a very daunting task.
Does the Qt framework also rely on the GNU C library, or do they have there
own threading implementation?
Qt is a c++ framework, so they rely on libc anyway. I can't see a
reason why they would implement their own threading.
