There are two mingw32 versions of the pthread-w32 runtime library: the |
| 77 |
standard one, provided by this package, is called libpthreadgc but may |
| 78 |
also be referred to as 'libpthread'. The non-standard one uses C++ |
| 79 |
exception handling, and is called libpthreadgce. (Note that the |
| 80 |
standard library may be used successfully with C++ code; indeed, on |
| 81 |
most *nix platorms the system pthreads implementation follows the |
| 82 |
behavior of mingw32-libpthreadgc, and NOT the behavior of the 'GCE' |
| 83 |
version). We recommend that most users rely on mingw32-libpthreadgc |
| 84 |
('GC') and not mingw32-libpthreadgce ('GCE'). |

</paragraph> |

<paragraph> |

The mingw32-libpthreadgc and mingw32-libpthreadgce packages provide |
| 88 |
the two runtime libraries (most people need not install the 'GCE' |
| 89 |
one). The associated mingw32-pthreads-w32 package provides the |
| 90 |
documentation for the pthreads-w32 library, as well as the related |
| 91 |
development files. The mingw32-libquserex package provides optional |

support for enhanced standards conformance of the GCE runtime. |

| 193 |
libquserex is an optional library to enable enhanced standards |

conformance of the non-standard mingw32-libpthreadgce ('GCE') runtime. |
| 195 |
It provides access to a a kernel mode driver, AlertDrv.sys, which if |

installed allows ordinary users to exploit the Win32 QueueUserAPCEx |
| 197 |
function call. |
| 198 |
</paragraph> |
| 199 |
<paragraph> |
| 200 |
There are two mingw32 versions of the pthread-w32 runtime library: the |
| 201 |
non-standard one provided by mingw32-libpthreadgce ('GCE') uses C++ |
| 202 |
exceptions, and for full POSIX conformance needs a kernel mode driver |
| 203 |
installed. The standard runtime, mingw32-libpthreadgc ('GC') does not |
| 204 |
require that driver for full standards conformance, and may be used |
| 205 |
with C++ code; we recommend that most users rely on |
| 206 |
mingw32-libpthreadgc ('GC') and not mingw32-libpthreadgce ('GCE'). |
| 207 |
</paragraph> |
| 208 |
<paragraph> |
| 209 |
However, for those that wish to experiment with the non-standard |
| 210 |
('GCE') runtime, this optional helper library may also be of use -- |
| 211 |
provided the kernel mode driver, available from mingw.org, is also |
| 212 |
installed. Note that the kernel mode driver can not currently be |
| 213 |
installed on W7 (64bit) or Windows Server 2008R2 (64bit) because those |
| 214 |
operating systems require kernel mode drivers to be digitally signed, |
| 215 |
so this mingw32-libquserex package is rather useless on those |
| 216 |
platforms. |
| 217 |
</paragraph> |
| 218 |
<paragraph> |
| 219 |
The kernel mode driver is available at mingw.org or mirror site, |
| 220 |
packaged as an InnoSetup installer executable called |
| 221 |
QueueUserAPCEx-installer.exe. |

| 242 |
The mingw32-libpthread-old package provides the MinGW pthreads-w32 |
| 243 |
runtime dll associated with MinGW GCC 4.5.2 and older. Due to an |
| 244 |
unfortunate naming choice, upgrading to newer GCC will also install |
| 245 |
the newer, renamed pthreads-w32 DLLs, removing the old DLL. While the |
| 246 |
may not affect the new GCC, threaded applications compiled using the |
| 247 |
older compiler will break, as they will miss this runtime library. |
| 248 |
Therefore, the old runtime library is provided here using a new |
| 249 |
package name: mingw32-libpthread-old, so that it can be (re)installed |
| 250 |
parallel to the new pthreads-w32 runtime libraries. |
