Possibly a stupid question: IIRC, the "p" stands for "POSIX"; Do
pthreads work on Windows?
There *is* a pthreads library for native MS Windows - I don't know just
how much of the POSIX threading it actually emulates.
If it emulates enough to accommodate these new enhancements, then it's
be nice to get it working.
I think the new functionality needs a pthreads enabled
PDL. Until the win32 PDL can be built with pthreads
support (i.e., yet another external dependency to get,
build, link, and provide) I don't think the new
functionality will work either.
I would expect there to be a better pthreads implementation for Windows,
using Cygwin ... but that's a bit different to "native" Windows.
Cygwin does have a pthread library but, at the moment,
the detection and build of PDL with pthreads support
doesn't work (i.e., I always get no pthreads PDL when
I build from scratch).
