I mean guaranteed by the compiler. Sorry if that wasn't clear. (That is, it is possible that your compiler provides a simple way to guarantee that you are getting pthreads compliance.) But in any event, it's a non-issue. Nobody is either talking about, or cares about, platforms that don't guarantee pthreads compliance since we are talking about pthread_create. DS .
