I used to use SAL (http://www.garret.ru/SAL) though there are a great many other similar libs that can be used. However, over time I found that I didn't actually need any of that stuff to make my code work. Indeed, it worked better and more consistently without it. Now, I use a few basic macros that wrap either "_beginthread" (for win32) or "pthread_create" elsewhere and a little basic IPC and it all pretty much Just Works, and is very portable. As soon as you try and use any "fancy" threading functions, you bump up hard against differences between platforms and get really tricky little "features" appearing... Keep it simple... I know (from personal experience!) that when folk start using threads, they see all these fancy functions and try and use them. Don't, things work better without them!
