+ * In addition, there is support for Thread Local Storage (data that is unique
+ * to each thread, but accessed from a single key).
+ *
+ * On platforms without thread support (such as Emscripten when built without
+ * pthreads), these functions still exist, but things like SDL_CreateThread()
+ * will report failure without doing anything.
+ *
+ * If you're going to work with threads, you almost certainly need to have a
+ * good understanding of thread safety measures: locking and synchronization
+ * mechanisms are handled by the functions in SDL_mutex.h.

+ *
+ * Technical details, not for the wiki (hello, header readers!)...
+ *
+ * On Windows (and maybe other platforms), a program might use a different
+ * C runtime than its libraries. Or, in SDL's case, it might use a C runtime
+ * while SDL uses none at all.
+ *
+ * C runtimes expect to initialize thread-specific details when a new thread
+ * is created, but to do this in SDL_CreateThread would require SDL to know
+ * intimate details about the caller's C runtime, which is not possible.
+ *
+ * So SDL_CreateThread has two extra parameters, which are
+ * hidden at compile time by macros: the C runtime's `_beginthreadex` and
+ * `_endthreadex` entry points. If these are not NULL, they are used to spin
+ * and terminate the new thread; otherwise the standard Win32 `CreateThread`
+ * function is used. When `SDL_CreateThread` is called from a compiler that
+ * needs this C runtime thread init function, macros insert the appropriate
+ * function pointers for SDL_CreateThread's caller (which might be a different
+ * compiler with a different runtime in different calls to SDL_CreateThread!).
+ *
+ * SDL_BeginThreadFunction defaults to `_beginthreadex` on Windows (and NULL
+ * everywhere else), but apps that have extremely specific special needs can
+ * define this to something else and the SDL headers will use it, passing the
+ * app-defined value to SDL_CreateThread calls. Redefine this with caution!
+ *
+ * Platforms that don't need _beginthread stuff (most everything) will fail
+ * SDL_CreateThread with an error if these pointers _aren't_ NULL.
+ *
+ * Unless you are doing something extremely complicated, like perhaps a
+ * language binding, **you should never deal with this directly**. Let SDL's
+ * macros handle this platform-specific detail transparently!

+ *   Required.
+ * - `SDL_PROP_THREAD_CREATE_NAME_STRING`: the name of the new thread, which
+ *   might be available to debuggers. Optional, defaults to NULL.
+ * - `SDL_PROP_THREAD_CREATE_USERDATA_POINTER`: an arbitrary app-defined
+ *   pointer, which is passed to the entry function on the new thread, as its
+ *   only parameter. Optional, defaults to NULL.
+ * - `SDL_PROP_THREAD_CREATE_STACKSIZE_NUMBER`: the size, in bytes, of the new
+ *   thread's stack. Optional, defaults to 0 (system-defined default).
+ *
+ * SDL makes an attempt to report `SDL_PROP_THREAD_CREATE_NAME_STRING` to the
+ * system, so that debuggers can display it. Not all platforms support this.
+ *
+ * Thread naming is a little complicated: Most systems have very small limits
+ * for the string length (Haiku has 32 bytes, Linux currently has 16, Visual
+ * C++ 6.0 has _nine_!), and possibly other arbitrary rules. You'll have to
+ * see what happens with your system's debugger. The name should be UTF-8 (but
+ * using the naming limits of C identifiers is a better bet). There are no
+ * requirements for thread naming conventions, so long as the string is
+ * null-terminated UTF-8, but these guidelines are helpful in choosing a name:
+ *
+ * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/149932/naming-conventions-for-threads
+ *
+ * If a system imposes requirements, SDL will try to munge the string for it
+ * (truncate, etc), but the original string contents will be available from
+ * SDL_GetThreadName().
+ *
+ * The size (in bytes) of the new stack can be specified with
+ * `SDL_PROP_THREAD_CREATE_STACKSIZE_NUMBER`. Zero means "use the system
+ * default" which might be wildly different between platforms. x86 Linux
+ * generally defaults to eight megabytes, an embedded device might be a few
+ * kilobytes instead. You generally need to specify a stack that is a multiple
+ * of the system's page size (in many cases, this is 4 kilobytes, but check
+ * your system documentation).
