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

*pthwools* does not implement the same execution model, for obvious reasons, but uses *swoole* coroutine to implement asynchronous code execution and multi-core optimization.

*pthwools* will ONLY fill for v3, behaviour is consistent with v3, which is the version new projects should target.

**It is used in [bugdhdj/PocketMine-MP-Swoole](https://github.com/bugdhdj/PocketMine-MP-Swoole) Project.**

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

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

Testing *pthwools*

```
phpunit tests

```

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

Testing code coverage for *pthwools*

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

```
