Would it be right to say that C is a single-tasking environment?
The C abstract machine supports a single program with a single thread
of execution (plus asynchronous invocations of signal handlers).
pThreads and other variants aren't really "C"? Thanks
You can't create a new thread in a C program without invoking undefined
behaviour. This doesn't mean that a multithreaded C program is not a C
program, merely that it is not the kind of portable C programs we discuss
in this newsgroup.
