It might be useful for glibc to implement the C11 <threads.h> functionality. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2011-12/msg00059.html has some comments about how this might be done without having a new shared library. (However, making pthreadtypes.h stay within the ISO C reserved namespace may be harder than suggested there, because of C++ mangling issues; see how when we gave the union that's pthread_attr_t a tag, it had to be exactly "union pthread_attr_t" to avoid changing the mangling.)
I think it's safe (and probably preferable) NOT to use the same types for C11 threads. This will catch program errors of trying to call a C11 thread function on a POSIX thread object or vice versa. Of course, if it's desirable for the implementations to be shared (and I believe it is), then the corresponding types should have the same *sizes*, and internally the code should just cast away (or spirit it away with weak symbols and fake prototypes) the difference in pointer types. In any case, I'd like to hear a decision on what glibc intends to do on this issue. I'm aiming to keep the C (but not C++) ABI in musl libc mostly compatible with glibc, and not knowing what sizes glibc intends to use for the C11 mutex, etc. types is preventing me from getting C11 threads implemented.
I am surprised by any lack of progress in this for almost five years. Is there any reason why glibc hasn't added C11 threading support yet, or is it just that no-one has any interest in it?
A complicated patch series can be expected to go through many cycles of patch review and revision. At some point, detailed review comments were provided for one patch series revision and updated patches did not follow. I'm not sure what Adhemerval's plans are having picked up those patches and put them on the azanella/c11-threads branch (or whether the patches there do reflect all the review comments, or whether the various C11 DRs relating to the definition of the C11 threads interfaces have been reviewed to make sure the implementation properly respects the DR resolutions).
The original author claimed to have been frustrated by the lack of interest from the developers. Having resolved all the issues pointing out and pinging the mailing list a bunch he said he had enough. Since then, Adhemerval revised the patch set numerous times but things seem to have eventually gone in the same direction. We've had numerous projects switch over to Musl (which supports C11 threads), using Cygwin whenever neccessary. I think it is safe to assume that glibc will not support this feature, which has been standardized almost a decade ago.

Many times that means it's hard to get review for your changes, much like in the Linux kernel, or other larger projects. Let me assure you we *do* want C11 threads, but it's a large new set of APIs that have ABI consequences. > Since then, Adhemerval revised the patch set numerous times but things seem > to have eventually gone in the same direction.

No, we will support it, but it just takes time to merge large chunks of code. We ask for patience, and to reach out to the stewards for additional review if required.
I'd love to see C11 threads implemented in glibc, but switching to musl (or another libc) probably isn't an option for most people, and even if it were it's a pretty heavy-handed work-around… there are several projects which wrap pthreads in the C11 API. I maintain one of them, TinyCThread (<https://tinycthread.github.io>), which also has a WinAPI backend. If you don't expose the API publicly, one of those projects is probably a good temporary solution until this issue is resolved.

Mostly of the definitions are composed based on POSIX conterparts, such as thrd_t (using pthread_t). For thrd_* function internally direct POSIX pthread call are used with the exceptions: 1. thrd_start uses pthread_create internal implementation, but changes how to actually calls the start routine. This is due the difference in signature between POSIX and C11, where former return a 'void *' and latter 'int'. To avoid calling convention issues due 'void *' to int cast, routines from C11 threads are started slight different than default pthread one. Explicit cast to expected return are used internally on pthread_create and the result is stored back to void also with an explicit cast. 2. thrd_sleep uses nanosleep internal direct syscall to avoid clobbering errno and to handle expected standard return codes. It is a cancellation entrypoint to be consistent with both thrd_join and cnd_{timed}wait. 3. thrd_yield also uses internal direct syscall to avoid errno clobbering.

Mostly of the definitions are composed based on POSIX conterparts, such as thrd_t (using pthread_t). For thrd_* function internally direct POSIX pthread call are used with the exceptions: 1. thrd_start uses pthread_create internal implementation, but changes how to actually calls the start routine. This is due the difference in signature between POSIX and C11, where former return a 'void *' and latter 'int'. To avoid calling convention issues due 'void *' to int cast, routines from C11 threads are started slight different than default pthread one. Explicit cast to expected return are used internally on pthread_create and the result is stored back to void also with an explicit cast. 2. thrd_sleep uses nanosleep internal direct syscall to avoid clobbering errno and to handle expected standard return codes. It is a cancellation entrypoint to be consistent with both thrd_join and cnd_{timed}wait. 3. thrd_yield also uses internal direct syscall to avoid errno clobbering.
