* errno.c: Add _MD precompile condition; thus far
had no effect when using /MD compile option but I
thnk it should be there.
* exit.c: Add __cplusplus to various #if lines;
was compiling SEH code even when VC++ had
C++ compile options.
* private.c: ditto.
* create.c (pthread_create): Add PT_STDCALL macro to
function pointer arg in _beginthread().
* pthread.h: PT_STDCALL really does need to be defined
in both this and impliment.h; don't set it to __cdecl
- this macro is only used to extend function pointer
casting for functions that will be passed as parameters.
(~PThreadCleanup): add cast and group expression.
(_errno): Add _MD compile conditional.
(PtW32NoCatchWarn): Change pragma message.
* implement.h: Move and change PT_STDCALL define.
* need_errno.h: Add _MD to compilation conditional.
* GNUmakefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
convention; set for nil optimisation (turn it up
when we have a working library build; add target
"fake.a" to build a libpthreadw32.a from the VC++
built DLL pthreadVCE.dll.
* pthread.def (LIBRARY): Don't specify in the .def
file - it is specified on the linker command line
since we now use the same .def file for variously
named .dlls.
* Makefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
convention; default nmake target only issues a
help message; run nmake with specific target
corresponding to the EH scheme being used.
* README: Update information; add naming convention
explanation.
* ANNOUNCE: Update information.
2000-08-12 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
* pthread.h: Add compile-time message when using
MSC_VER compiler and C++ EH to warn application
programmers to use PtW32Catch instead of catch(...)
if they want cancelation and pthread_exit to work.
* implement.h: Remove #include <semaphore.h>; we
use our own local semaphore.h.

* condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler
warning.
* condvar4.c: ditto.
* condvar5.c: ditto.
* condvar6.c: ditto.
* condvar7.c: ditto.
* condvar8.c: ditto.
* condvar9.c: ditto.
* exit1.c: Function needed return statement.
* cleanup1.c: Remove unnecessary printf arg.
* cleanup2.c: Fix cast.
* rwlock6.c: Fix casts.
* exception1.c (PtW32CatchAll): Had the wrong name;
fix casts.
* cancel3.c: Remove unused waitLock variable.
* GNUmakefile: Change library/dll naming; add new tests;
general minor changes.
* Makefile: Change library/dll naming; add targets for
testing each of the two VC++ EH scheme versions;
default target now issues help message; compile warnings
now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new
tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed
otherwise.
* README: Updated.

-- tests/Makefile for MS nmake replaces runall.bat

+ pthreadVSE.dll (MS VC++/Structured EH)
+ pthreadVSE.lib
+ pthreadVCE.dll (MS VC++/C++ EH)
+ pthreadVCE.lib
+ pthreadGCE.dll (GNU G++/C++ EH)
+ libpthreadw32.a

+ Both your application and the pthread dll should use the

Bugs fixed:
-- kernel32 load/free problem
-- attempt to hide internel exceptions from application
- exception handlers (__try/__except and try/catch blocks)
-- Win32 thread handle leakage bug
