[Dev-C++] Recommended threading API?

[Philip B. <phi...@pb...>]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question regarding the multithreading functions on Windows in relation with MinGw. Does it matter if I use _beginthreadex or CreateThread, is one better than the other when using MinGw or are they the same? I am asking because I read somewhere that applications that have a static link to the c runtime library should not use CreateThread, but I do not know if this is true for MinGw executables. Any information on this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
