Pthreads are part of any reasonably modern UN*X, so they're available in macOS and *BSD and Solaris and HP-UX and AIX, 
as well as at least some dead UN*Xes.  On a particular platform, they might or might not require linking with a 
separate pthreads library.

Windows, on the other hand, has its own threading API; we'd have to use some pthreads-for-Windows implementation.

If the protocol buffers library runs on macOS and Linux, as Mark says, it's *probably* reasonably 
UN*X-portability-clean and would run on other UN*Xes as well, unless there are issues with different C++ 
implementations on different platforms.  He also says it runs on Windows.
