Typedefs
typedef void *(*	ThreadFn) (void *)
	Thread functions have return values as required by the OS thread libs but as the win32 thead returns a dword (32bit) and the pthread returns a void* (64 bit), so our abstraction just ignores return values.
typedef pthread_t	CrossPlatformThread
typedef pthread_mutex_t	CrossPlatformMutex
	Mutexes - These will work between threads in the same process: in windows terms, a "critical section".
typedef pid_t	CrossPlatformThreadID

Functions
CrossPlatformThread	StartThread (ThreadFn thread, void *pUser)
	Thread functions have return values as required by the OS thread libs but as the win32 thead returns a dword (32bit) and the pthread returns a void* (64 bit), so our abstraction just ignores return values.

Typedef Documentation

CrossPlatformMutex

typedef pthread_mutex_t CrossPlatformMutex

Mutexes - These will work between threads in the same process: in windows terms, a "critical section".

CrossPlatformThread

typedef pthread_t CrossPlatformThread

CrossPlatformThreadID

typedef pid_t CrossPlatformThreadID

ThreadFn

typedef void *(* ThreadFn) (void *)

Thread functions have return values as required by the OS thread libs but as the win32 thead returns a dword (32bit) and the pthread returns a void* (64 bit), so our abstraction just ignores return values.
