AWS CodeBuild curated Docker images
AWS CodeBuild repository for managed Docker images
When you call AWS CodeBuild to run a build, you must provide information about the build environment. A build environment represents a combination of operating system, programming language runtime, and tools that CodeBuild uses to run a build. The master branch will sometimes have changes that are still in the process of being released in AWS CodeBuild. When you provide information to CodeBuild about the build environment, you specify the identifier of a Docker image in a supported repository type. These include the CodeBuild Docker image repository, publicly available images in Docker Hub, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repositories that your AWS account has permission to access. We recommend that you use Docker images stored in the CodeBuild Docker image repository, because they are optimized for use with the service. -

NSync
nsync is a C library that exports various synchronization primitives
nsync is a portable C library that provides a collection of advanced synchronization primitives designed to facilitate safe and efficient multithreaded programming. It offers reader-writer locks, condition variables, run-once initialization, waitable counters, and waitable bits for coordination and cancellation between threads. Unlike traditional pthreads-based synchronization, nsync introduces conditional critical sections, allowing developers to wait for arbitrary conditions without explicit signaling or complex loop-based logic. This approach simplifies concurrency management and often improves readability and maintainability of multithreaded code. The library emphasizes efficiency, with locks and condition variables occupying minimal memory and supporting cancellation mechanisms through nsync_note objects rather than thread-level cancellation. Designed with portability and performance in mind, nsync can be compiled on Unix-like systems and Windows using a C90 compiler. -
