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...

...It enables applications to determine which instruction sets (such as SSE, AVX, or NEON) are supported on the host machine, allowing developers to optimize performance dynamically. The library supports numerous architectures—including x86, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, POWER, RISCV, LoongArch, and s390x—and works on major operating systems like Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, Android, and iOS. Implemented in portable C99, it is thread-safe, has no memory allocations, and raises no exceptions, making it suitable even for use in low-level system libraries. The design emphasizes portability, extensibility, and compatibility with sandboxed or restricted environments where direct CPU access may be limited.
