Typedef Documentation

typedef struct threadinfo_t threadinfo_t

This structure contains the information about the routine executed by a thread in the Windows port (Win32 threads suck).

typedef struct vipl_win_thread_t vipl_win_thread_t

This structure describes a thread abstraction in the Windows port (and we all know that Win32 threads suck).
