Manager: Thread Manager


Carbon fully supports the Thread Manager. Note, however, that the Thread Manager provides only cooperative threading for PowerPC applications. Applications can use the Multiprocessing Services API to create preemptively scheduled tasks.

Note that several Thread Manager functions that did not require you to pass universal procedure pointers (UPPs) for callbacks now require them in Carbon. See the Carbon Porting Notes for more information.
