Agreed. I would concider native functionality in c++ those found in
the stl, plus stuff on the C library, as file management functions
like fopen and such. Anything out of the stl and the C library can not
be concidered native. I however should have replied to his message the
following way:
Threads are not still supported natively in c++, so you will have
either to use the specific operating system functions to use threads,
or download a good portable library which will do it for you, like the
boosts one or the zThreads one.
btw, I think the boosts site confusing, I am not able to find
documentation. Could you find the documentation easily and in an
accessible format?
