Actually, it is as of C11. Though the trick with the latest standard is finding an implementation of it. Hopefully C11 will be more widely adopted than C99. ;)

You can crate thread
int pthread_create(pthread_t * pth, pthread_attr_t att, void * (function), void * arg);

For as long as space endures
In order to use pthread_create() you will need to include <pthread.h>. Note that <pthread.h> is available only for POSIX systems.

Oh cool, I haven't followed the new C/C++ standards for a couple years. Nice to see them updating the standards, but, as you said, we'll see about the adoption. Thanks for the info.
