-- Air's Notes on Using PThreads --
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|

|

We use pthreads as a static link because it allows for inlined calls of several methods,
|
||
|
|
most notably the InterlockedExchange implementations. These would be DLL invocations
|
||
|
|
otherwise, and would be roughly twice to three times the total overhead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I created a subfolder for pthreads' publicall exposed header files, since "config.h" was
|
||
|
|
rather brutal include file namespace pollution. >_<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Important: pthread_cond is an inherently flawed concept, and is quite incredibly slow
|
||
|
|
on top of it. It's primarily meant for inter-process thread regulation, of which we
|
||
|
|
do none. Therefore it has been excluded from the library builds. Don't use it!
