A set of multi-platform C++ class libraries introduced in 1996 as an add-on to the Tools.h++ foundation class library. The library simplifies the creation, interprocess communications and synchronisation of threads and introduces a new simplified cross-platform thread model which cuts down on porting time.
The Threads.h++ library did not support all of the platforms supported by Tools.h++, but was available for 32-bit versions of MS Windows (Win 9x, Win NT, et al.), Sun Solaris, HP-UX and AIX in addition to OS/2.
The company stopped selling the Threads.h++ library as a separate product in 2001 and folded it into a new product called SourcePro C++. It appears that the introduction of thread support in the standard C++ library has killed much of the interest in the library even though it was both easier to use and more powerful & portable than the standard version.
Versions
- Threads.h++ version 2 introduced in 2000. Reorganisation of the tools into separate packages but otherwise largely unchanged from v1.4, new tracing facility.

License and availability
- Commercial software - Discontinued - Original price 695 USD for each available platform or 1390 USD for all three
