<H3>Thread priority</H3>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">POSIX defines a single contiguous range
of numbers that determine a thread's priority. Win32 defines priority
classes - and priority levels relative to these classes. Classes are
simply priority base levels that the defined priority levels are
relative to such that, changing a process's priority class will
change the priority of all of it's threads, while the threads retain
the same relativity to each other.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">A Win32 system defines a single
contiguous monotonic range of values that define system priority
levels, just like POSIX. However, Win32 restricts individual threads
to a subset of this range on a per-process basis.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">The following table shows the base
priority levels for combinations of priority class and priority value
in Win32.</P>

<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">An application using Pthreads-w32 should
not make assumptions about the numbers used to represent thread
priority levels, except that they are monotonic between the values
returned by sched_get_priority_min() and sched_get_priority_max().
E.g. Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP make available a non-contiguous
range of numbers between -15 and 15, while at least one version of
WinCE (3.0) defines the minimum priority (THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST) as
5, and the maximum priority (THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST) as 1.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Internally, pthreads-win32 maps any
priority levels between THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE and
THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST to THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST, or between
THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL and THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST to
THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST. Currently, this also applies to
REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS even if levels -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, 3, 4, 5,
and 6 are supported.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">If it wishes, a Win32 application using
pthreads-w32 can use the Win32 defined priority macros
THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE through THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL.</P>
