Description
Problem
In PR #13702 it was decided to retain build.cmd
for Windows, since that's not actually the root issue. The real limitation is the use of pthreads in the multithreaded
sample, which restricts cross-platform compatibility.
Proposal
- Update the
multithreaded
example to use C++11<thread>
instead of pthreads - Remove direct
pthread
dependencies in the sample code - Adjust build scripts or CMake/Makefiles to avoid needing
-pthread
- Ensure the sample builds and runs consistently on Windows, macOS, and Linux without extra libraries or flags
Benefits
- Enables true cross-platform support out of the box
- Simplifies build system and reduces dependency overhead
- Demonstrates modern C++ best practices in the sample
