+<P><B>pthread_win32_test_features_np</B> allows an application to

+<P>The possible features are:</P>
+<P><B>PTW32_SYSTEM_INTERLOCKED_COMPARE_EXCHANGE</B></P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Return TRUE if the Win32 version of
+InterlockedCompareExchange() is being used. On IA32 systems the
+library can use optimised and inlinable assembler versions of
+InterlockedExchange() and InterlockedCompareExchange().</P>
+<P><B>PTW32_ALERTABLE_ASYNC_CANCEL</B></P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Return TRUE if the QueueUserAPCEx package
+QUSEREX.DLL and the AlertDrv.sys driver was detected. This package
+provides alertable (pre-emptive) asynchronous threads cancellation.
+If this feature returns FALSE then the default async cancel scheme is
+in use, which cannot cancel blocked threads.</P>
