[swift-dev] pthread_mutex vs std::mutex

I'm a newbie in this world. I have a qustion.

Is there any reason to prefer pthread_mutex_* to std::mutex in the swift
stdlib ?

Nowadays in C++, the std::mutex is the standard and more portable than
pthread_mutex_*.

If I'm porting the swift stdlib to non-POSIX system, which method should I
choose ?

Adding #if-#else-#endif or changing pthread to std::mutex ?

Thanks
