libpsync
--------

https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpsync/

The libpsync library provides lightweight portable synchronization primitives
(thread, mutex, semaphore) for C/C++ under a non-restrictive license.

This is an open source library, for more information on the licensing of the
code please read LICENSE.TXT (which is a standard new BSD license).


To Do
-----

For version 1.0:

* Add Mach kernel API implementation.
* Add more build files (automake? ...)
* Add documentation.
* Review return value handling.

Post 1.0:

* Add more features to existing APIs.
* Add more synchronization primitives (conditions, events, etc.)
* Add support for more native synchronization APIs (PS2? PSP? Cocoa?)
* Add more robust test suite.
