Whats the difference between thread_posixs and thread_win32 in gcc port of windows?
I wanted to download the latest available version of gcc 4.7.2 compiler for windows. When i got to this page where i was supposed to see a download link , i confronted with two categories: threads-posix threads-win32 Whats the difference between these two? Are they thread implementations only?I mean are they only different in how they are implemented and thus the ending result (classes, how to use them,etc ) remains the same? Or do they impose a specific coding style? So, the link you provided leads to builds of the standalone gcc 4.7.2 for windows, a.k.a mingw64. In order to build this
