• File src/threads.c — part of check-in [0e4d977a] at 2012-07-21 19:40:42 on branch threads — Add an internal interface that allows the code to take advantage of multiple cores by pushing subcomputations off into separate threads. The interface is not currently used. (user: drh size: 3728)

******************************************************************************
**
** This file presents a simple cross-platform threading interface for
** use internally by SQLite.
**
** A "thread" can be created using sqlite3ThreadCreate().  This thread
** runs independently of its creator until it is joined using
** sqlite3ThreadJoin(), at which point it terminates.
**
** Threads do not have to be real.  It could be that the work of the
** "thread" is done by the main thread at either the sqlite3ThreadCreate()
** or sqlite3ThreadJoin() call.  This is, in fact, what happens in
** single threaded systems.  Nothing in SQLite requires multiple threads.
** This interface exists so that applications that want to take advantage
** of multiple cores can do so, while also allowing applications to stay
** single-threaded if desired.
