You say this as if those who use Qt, do not use C++11 and its 'threading support'. I know that winpthreads has some bugs, иut this does not mean that you can not use winpthreads. The less MinGW users will use builds with winpthreads, the fewer bugs will be found and even fewer corrected. If your words said above serve to this purpose, I...hmmm...better say nothing.. =) Kai, I would not recommend to use win32-threads builds, because so the full support for 'C++11 threads support library' will appear only after several years. About the current support for 'C++11 threads support library' in MinGW we can not say that it does not exist or it is not working. It exists, and it works. And I think it works quite well. P.S. the discussed above was about the overhead created by winpthreads. on my own behalf, I would say that this overhead is so insignificant that it is ridiculous to discuss it =) -- Regards, niXman ___________________________________________________ Dual-target(32 & 64-bit) MinGW compilers for 32 and 64-bit Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/ ___________________________________________________ Another online IDE: http://liveworkspace.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
