Multicore resources in pure C

Question

Would anyone know any pointers to information about multicore programming in C? I apologize if the question has been asked before, after a "bona fide" search, I couldn't find it. I'd be happy to delete if someone points me to it.

Answer 1

C1X is the unofficial name of the planned new standard for the C programming language.

Multithreading support (_Thread_local storage-class specifier, header including thread creation/management functions, mutex, condition variable and thread-specific storage functionality, as well as the _Atomic type qualifier and for uninterruptible object access)

Answer 2

It is not included in the ANSI C standard, but if you are using Unix i would strongly suggest to take a look at Posix Threads
