| </P> | |
| <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> also provides support for <B>Win32</B> native | |
| threads to interact with POSIX threads through the pthreads API. | |
| Whereas all threads created via a call to pthread_create have a POSIX | |
| thread ID and thread state, the library ensures that any Win32 native | |
| threads that interact through the Pthreads API also generate a POSIX | |
| thread ID and thread state when and if necessary. This provides full | |
| <SPAN LANG="en-GB">reciprocity</SPAN> between Win32 and POSIX | |
| threads. Win32 native threads that generate a POSIX thread ID and | |
| state are treated by the library as having been created with the | |
| <B>PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED</B> attribute.</P> | |
| <P>Any Win32 native thread may call <B>pthread_self</B> directly to | |
| return it's POSIX thread identifier. The ID and state will be | |
| generated if it does not already exist. Win32 native threads do not | |
| need to call <B>pthread_self</B> before calling Pthreads-w32 routines | |
| unless that routine requires a pthread_t parameter.</P> | |
