This is convenient during 11the process of developing or porting a Native Client application. 12 13This library is not shipped with Chromium. 14 15Description: 16From http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/ 17 18The POSIX 1003.1-2001 standard defines an application programming interface 19(API) for writing multithreaded applications. This interface is known more 20commonly as pthreads. A good number of modern operating systems include a 21threading library of some kind: Solaris (UI) threads, Win32 threads, DCE 22threads, DECthreads, or any of the draft revisions of the pthreads standard. 23The trend is that most of these systems are slowly adopting the pthreads 24standard API, with application developers following suit to reduce porting 25woes. 26 27Win32 does not, and is unlikely to ever, support pthreads natively. This 28project seeks to provide a freely available and high-quality solution to this 29problem. 30 31Local Modifications: 32* Removed execute permissions on some source files. 33
