* createThread is more convenient to use with a proc taking no argumentsAraq2015-10-191-0/+3

* Properly register threads with the Boehm GC.Reimer Behrends2015-09-081-15/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to be able to scan thread stacks, the Boehm GC needs to know about newly created threads. We establish the end of the stack by using GC_call_with_stack_base (this works properly also with the dual-stack Itanium architecture) and then GC_register_my_thread() to register a thrad and GC_unregister_my_thread() to unregister it again. This patch also includes a modification for the refc and markandsweep collectors to set the stack bottom for thread stacks correctly even if an optimizer aggressively inlines and optimizes procedures (this is already being done for the stack of the main thread). Finally, we use the {.noconv.} pragma for the Boehm GC, as the Boehm API uses no specific calling convention.

* Fix #2672. Do not define globalsSlot for native TLSSergey Avseyev2015-06-261-16/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Motivation ---------- globalsSlot is always defined so threading code works incorrectly when native TLS supported. Modification ------------ Defined globalsSlot only in TLS emulation mode. Remove myThreadId, which based on broken behavior. It might be reimplemented later Result ------ No segfaults.

* Fix pthread_create binding when compiling in C++ mode.Philip Wernersbach2015-03-151-2/+2
| | | | | C++ has different rules for void pointers, which causes the binding to be invalid when compiling in C++ mode.

* Disable -pthread for linker on OSXHans Raaf2015-02-131-1/+3
| | | | | The -pthread is not needed on Darwin/OS X and the Apple compilers give a warning about this if you use --threads:on with the Nim compiler.

* Remove references to pthread_mutex_timedlock().Reimer Behrends2014-11-061-10/+0
| | | | | | | The pthread_mutex_timedlock() function is not supported on a number of architectures and is not actually used by the library or compiler, but prevents C++ compilation on systems that do not support it when threads are enabled.
