th

The following documents describes the th library and the supplementary rwlock library and how to use them:

• Cooperative Multithreading library
• Readers/Writer Locks

Assumptions

Here are some assumptions made in the libraries and in the documentation:

• You know how to write assembly language. If you don't, then why are you trying to do multithreading in assembly language?
• You have some use for multithreading.
• You use tpasm (and possibly other utilities for it), your assembler accepts tpasm's syntax, or you can convert the assembly-language files to your assembler's syntax.
• You define the starting address of an uninitialized segment named "data", used for data (surprise, surprise!).

Other assumptions are made, but those are the major ones.
