     When you ask (somewhat incoherently) "Is there are C standard
threading framework," which part of

	THE LATEST "C11" STANDARD ADDS SOME MULTI-THREADING SUPPORT

are you having trouble understanding?

     C11's threading support is on-topic here in comp.lang.c -- but
you've indicated that you're not interested in C11 threads and in fact
are using Pthreads instead.  Pthreads is off-topic here, so please help
reduce the noise by removing the discussion to comp.programming.threads
which "excells" [sic] on that topic.
