写一段最简单的代码来测试(创建一个线程, 输出一点东西):

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <pthread.h>

struct dt {

    int a;

    int b;

};

void* thread_function(void* arg);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

    int result0;

    dt data0;

    data0.a = 0;

    data0.b = 1;

    pthread_t a_thread;

    result0 = pthread_create(&a_thread, NULL, thread_function, (void*)&data0);

    if (result0 != NULL) {

        printf("error creating thread0!");

        return 1;

    }

    getchar();

}

void* thread_function(void* arg) {

    dt* data = (dt*)arg;

    printf("%d %d", data->a, data->b);

    return NULL;

}

编译, 链接, 运行, OK.

注意: 需要把pthreadvc2.dll copy到Debug或者Release目录, 否则可能会出现找不到dll的错误.

另外pthread2提供了不同的.lib以及相对应的.dll,

    pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}c.dll
pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}c.lib

含义为

    [VG] 编译器种类
V    - MS VC, or
G    - GNU C

    {SE,CE,C} 异常处理模式
SE    - Structured EH, or
CE    - C++ EH, or
C    - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp

c    - DLL compatibility number indicating ABI and API
compatibility with applications built against
any snapshot with the same compatibility number.
See 'Version numbering' below.

   比如上面用的pthreadvc2.dll, 含义为:

   v = MSVC

   c = 没有使用异常机制, 而是使用setjump/longjmp

   2 = 兼用性 - 和pthread2兼容, 不和旧版本pthread1兼容.

   详细请参照pthread的readme.
