From: Seija Kijin <doremylover123@xxxxxxxxx> Use _beginthreadex instead of CreateThread since we use the Windows CRT, as Microsoft recommends _beginthreadex over CreateThread for these situations. Finally, check for NULL handles, not "INVALID_HANDLE," as _beginthreadex guarantees a valid handle in most cases Signed-off-by: Seija Kijin <doremylover123@xxxxxxxxx> --- win32: fix thread usage for win32 Use pthread_exit instead of async_exit. This means we do not have to deal with Windows's implementation requiring an unsigned exit coded despite the POSIX exit code requiring a signed exit code.
