Message: [QUOTE="Eric Sosman, post: 4216059"] C has no way to express "parallel threads of computation" (except in the restrictive senses of volatile variables and asynchronous signals). Fine: Your compiler made promises that are not made by C and are not expressible in C. There's nothing preventing you from making such promises, and in the right circumstances such promises are useful and laudable. But they're *your* promises, not C's, and compilers other than your own are under no obligation to pay the slightest heed to them. C has no way to tell those other compilers about a desire for parallelism, nor any means to detect a promise broken. Exactly. The O.P. needs something other than C, or something in addition to C.
