I am looking for lightweight multi-threading framework for C++. I found POSIX Threads.
Please, share you practical experience with POSIX threads: before I start with it I want to know its pros and cons from real people, not from wiki.
If you practically compared it with anything (maybe, better), it would be interesting to know either.

UPD: cross platform features are really important for me, so I would appreciate this direction described.

UPD2: I already have an experience with one framework for QNX / Win32, but it is not lightweight and – oh, I forgot to mention, – it is commercial, not free, but I need a free one.

    I found Boost.Threads to be really nice, especially after the 1.35 rewrite. POSIX threads on Windows is not so trivial, and it’s a C API, so I would definitely prefer Boost to it. It has all the stuff you need, is portable and requires little setup.
