....varargs problems in more detail. From the view of the threads package, a better interface passes only one argument, a pointer to a structure that contains the actual arguments. It may be necessary to copy the structure to thread specific storage. This is the approach used by, e.g. NewThreads [FM92]. However, many packages provide a varargs interface, so building a threads toolkit that supports only single argument thread functions is unacceptable. Although varargs can implement a single argument interface, doing so typically makes thread initialization and invocation two times slower. ....

....this programming model (although the OO7 implementation does not currently require these primitives) 4.3 Portability Our goal is that PSHORE, like SHORE itself, will run on a wide range of hardware platforms. To support this goal, the ParSet implementation uses the new threads package [FM92] which in turn uses PVM [Sun90] for interprocess communication. PVM is a public domain message passing library for writing parallel programs that runs on platforms ranging from networks of workstations to multiprocessors. By using this portable parallel programming environment in the PSHORE ....
