[issue25658] PyThread assumes pthread_key_t is an integer, which is against POSIX

[Ed Schouten]

Ed Schouten added the comment:

CloudABI uses a structure type, which is exactly why I filed this bug report.

Instead of speculating about what kind of type existing implementations use, please just focus on the specification to which we're trying to stick: POSIX.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sys_types.h.html

"All of the types shall be defined as arithmetic types of an appropriate length, with the following exceptions:

[...]
pthread_key_t
[...]"
