+Other changes

+-------------

+Certain POSIX macros have changed.

+

+These changes are intended to conform to the Single Unix Specification version 3,

+which states that, if set to 0 (zero) or not defined, then applications may use

+sysconf() to determine their values at runtime. Pthreads-win32 does not

+implement sysconf().

+

+The following macros are no longer undefined, but defined and set to -1

+(not implemented):

+

+      _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKADDR

+      _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT

+      _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT

+      _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED

+

+The following macros are defined and set to 200112L (implemented):

+

+      _POSIX_THREADS

+      _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS

+      _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKSIZE

+      _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING

+      _POSIX_SEMAPHORES

+      _POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS

+      _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS

+      _POSIX_BARRIERS

+

+The following macros are defined and set to appropriate values:

+

+      _POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX

+      _POSIX_SEM_VALUE_MAX

+      _POSIX_SEM_NSEMS_MAX

+      PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS

+      PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX
