Hello Pavel,I create win32 application. (use dmd 2.046) Exist object Thread in std.thread. Object Thread gives support for garbage collector, but I want to use the function CreateThread. Can I create threads with this function?You can call it (you can call any C function). It should give you a new thread. It might break something else in D (for example: the GC pauses all threads for a collection and that might break) Why do you want to use CreateThread? -- ... <IXOYE><

I need call WaitForMultipleObject for thread and event handle. Object Thread in std.thread hide the handle, but create support for GC. Do you GC pause this my thread? (use dmd 2.046) (This thread is not in the global list of threads) How can I do to support my threads for GC?? Pavel

I solved. Just use the function thread_attachThis() and thread_detachThis().
