I definitely don't want to break applications unnecessarily and particularly applications that have been ported to several different POSIX systems, but on the other hand POSIX thread IDs are not required to be scalar. See the rationale from the definition of pthread_equal() in the Single Unix Specification version 3, which says:
Great, but when was pthread_equal() introduced? I'd like to support old versions of pthread-win32 too.
BTW. I cannot find a compile-time VERSION define to check against. If there where, I could #ifdef around this problem.
I have no control over the mailing list, but I can save you from getting two copies from me.
