   1 # pthread_extra
   2
   3 Library implementing extra features on top of POSIX threads.
   4 Currently will probably only work on Linux. Mostly experimental code.

   6 ### Components
   7
   8   * pthread_pause - implements suspend/resume functionality for pthreads (no know issues, recently fixed some deadlocks, but not really tested)
   9   * pthread_sleep - sleep functions which work correctly even when being interrupted by signals and/or being paused by pthread pause
  10   * pthread_msgqueue - implements message queues, more features than POSIX mqueue (no known issues, but not really tested)
  11   * pthread_user_data - allows user to store and retreive custom data using thread handle as a key (suboptimal, used internaly, not tested)
  12   * pthread_multi - lock multiple mutexes at once (might cause deadlocks in complex scenarios???)
