Personally, as mentioned above, I am quite happy with the winpthreads implementation of <thread>, as made available in Ruben's build. Please, let's have mingw-w64 (and mingw) users chime in. Do folks prefer one approach (native vs. pthreads) to implementing <thread> to the other? Is there enough interest in both approaches that it makes sense to take away manpower from other issues to develop and support both? For those who haven't tried it yet, I heartily recommend Ruben's <thread>-enabled build (that is based on winpthreads under the hood). I have tested it and been using it some, and I haven't found any problems with it yet. (But Ruben, I will. Oh yes I will. Just watch. Bwaa-ha-haa!) > ... > Regards, > Kai And to Kai (and Ruben and Jon and Friends, and to Jonathan and Friends upstream), an ongoing thank you for all your efforts making mingw-w64 available to folks like me.
