[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/304ce5fc7d72209584bab63abf55ce2a331a4ce7f9b5015f6ab2a35db665ff80/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6b72616b6a6f652f70746872656164732d706f6c7966696c6c2e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/krakjoe/pthreads-polyfill)

*pthreads-polyfill* aims to satisfy the API requirements of *pthreads*, such that code written to depend on *pthreads* will work when *pthreads* is not, or can not be loaded.

*pthreads-polyfill* does not implement the same execution model, for obvious reasons, and has no external dependencies.

*pthreads-polyfill* will fill for v2 or v3, however behaviour is consistent with v3, which is the version new projects should target.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

*pthreads-polyfill* is distributed with some unit tests, these tests should pass with and without *pthreads* loaded.

Testing *pthreads-polyfill*

```
phpunit tests

```

If *pthreads* is loaded by your configuration the polyfill will not be used.

Testing code coverage for *pthreads-polyfill*

```
phpdbg -nqrr vendor/bin/phpunit tests --coverage-text

```
