Re: [PATCH] MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads API

[Johannes Sixt <j.sixt@viscovery.net>]

Thanks.

I pushed this to

  git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw/j6t.git pthreads-for-windows

together with Nico's patch and another patch to enable pthreads on
MinGW unconditionally. Feedback welcome!

Andrzej K. Haczewski (1):
      MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads API

Johannes Sixt (1):
      MinGW: enable pthreads

Nicolas Pitre (1):
      pack-objects: move thread autodetection closer to relevant code

This is my patch:

From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
Subject: [PATCH] MinGW: enable pthreads

If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build environment,
then threading was already enabled because the pthreads package from
GNU-Win32 is available in msysgit.

The previous patch added a minimal pthreads implementation for Windows.
Therefore, we can now enable code that uses pthreads unconditionally.
