Hello,
(first of all: sorry to post this message to a second list, I've sent it
to the wrong list at first)
I am using g++ in MinGW-w64 running in a Windows environment. I'm
especially interested in the c++0x threads because it allows standard
cross-platform multi-threading.
Unfortunately I didn't get this to work (using a very recent Mingw-w64
snapshot that uses gcc 4.5.0). I did some research and I think I found
out why. Perhaps somebody on this list could confirm this and/or answer
some of the questions I have about the win32 threading model.
First of all, the c++0x threads don't seem to work because in the
`thread' header file the file `gthr.h' is included, which includes in
turn some threading model specific files (like `gthr_posix.h'). While
the header `gthr_win32.h' does exist, it is not included from `gthr.h'.
The comments in `gthr.h' further mention support for several threading
models, but the win32 threading model is not amongst these. Am I looking
in the right direction for reasons why the c++0x threads do not work
with the win32 threading model?
If the above is correct: is support for win32 c++0x threads being worked
on at the moment? If that is the case, any indication when it will be in
a usable state? What must be undertaken to implement this support?
I hope somebody can give me some insight in these questions.
Regards,
Heiko
