Indeed.  Meanwhile, pthread support is available on Windows, Linux, BSD,
OS X, Novell NetWare (I kid you not), AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, a number of
other UNIX platforms, I've even heard rumor that it is at least
partially supported on Android.

Meanwhile C11 thread support?  Mostly crickets. Your question would be
a lot more interesting if the chances of "two or more groups of
platforms, all of which have C2011 available" not being an empty set
wasn't so high.

Gcc?  Not implemented.
clang? Not implemented.
MSVC? Not implemented.

Need I go on?
