Some simple questions about the Thread class
« on: October 10, 2008, 07:34:58 pm »
How is the thread class implemented in Linux?
Are they kernel threads (via clone() or sys_clone()?), or fibers?
Is SFML-Thread based on libraries like pethread or GNU-portable-threads?

SFML threads are based on the pthread library on Linux and MacOS.
