When i'm compiling my application with Visual C++ compiler i get, 3,2 , 1 or no warning. When i compile it with gcc it give me 2 screens of warning. I apreciate that gcc it's an open source compiler and it's free, but it have a maturity taht should stop or reduce  this kind of thinks. What do you think?

Visual C++ has a warning level 4 that you can sset for compilation.
Try that and see if its warnings match those from gcc a bit more
closely.  And as Joe said, so long as you're using all standard C++
utilities, you should be fine.  For what it's worth, there is no
standard C++ thread library, though the one from Boost is a decent
substitute.
