creating a thread - which includes?

[Lars Uffmann]

I managed to find examples about wrapping a class around threads, that
were using thread_create(...) - now I cannot find that macro defined
anywhere, apparently it expands e.g. to the use of pthread_create (...)
on some POSIX-systems, and to _beginthread (...) (???) on Windows
systems. But what on earth is the library that has this function /
macro? Is that part of the standard c++?

Any help appreciated, google really doesn't like to give a sufficient
answer to this - at least not on the first couple of hits...

Best Regards,

Lars

Well, I guess I'll have to start reading up on what that mysterious
"boost" library is that you guys keep mentioning and using...

Ya, I guess that will help.

Thanks & I'm off for carneval

Alaaf!
