C++ :: means global scope and it solves naming conflict if you would
have pthread_mach_thread_np() in your namespace and don't specify
namespace explicitly.
It's very good practice to always use :: for all os functions we call.
Is it (or should it be) part of Oracle's recommended coding guidelines?
