Hello,

I have noticed from the comformance list, that the only supported scheduling policy is SCHED_OTHER. Is there any action ongoing to support the scheduling policy SCHED_FIFO?

Pthreads-win32 threads are just Windows threads and Win32 only has one scheduling policy that most appropriately corresponds to SCHED_OTHER. This assumes that Win32 can't somehow be made to emulate the POSIX required details of SCHED_FIFO, and that we can't just pretend to accept it for source code compatibility.
