aCC option to support multithreading?

Greetings,

I have the HP aC++ Compiler S800 (A.01.15.01) installed on an HP-UX 10.20 K server...

I have been asked if there if an option for this compiler to support multithreading...

Any help/suggestion is welcome.

TIA,

Kind Regards,

Rui.

See
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/dev/aCC/guide40/threads.htm
http://devresource.hp.com./devresource/Topics/Threads/Threads.html
and
http://devresource.hp.com./devresource/Docs/Refs/ProgThreads.pdf

The HP-UX 10.20 implementation of threads is only a user-space version of Posix draft 4. It uses one processor per process. It has slightly different function calls than the final Posix.1c thread standard.
The HP-UX 11.0 implentation adds "kernel threads" which provide the full standard and up to one processor per thread.
