Original change's description:
> Revert "Refactor the PlatformThread API."
>
> This reverts commit c89fdd716c4c8af608017c76f75bf27e4c3d602e.

> Original change's description:
> > Refactor the PlatformThread API.
> >
> > PlatformThread's API is using old style function pointers, causes
> > casting, is unintuitive and forces artificial call sequences, and
> > is additionally possible to misuse in release mode.
> >
> > Fix this by an API face lift:
> > 1. The class is turned into a handle, which can be empty.
> > 2. The only way of getting a non-empty PlatformThread is by calling
> > SpawnJoinable or SpawnDetached, clearly conveying the semantics to the
> > code reader.
> > 3. Handles can be Finalized, which works differently for joinable and
> > detached threads:
> >   a) Handles for detached threads are simply closed where applicable.
> >   b) Joinable threads are joined before handles are closed.
> > 4. The destructor finalizes handles. No explicit call is needed.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development

See here for instructions on how to get started developing with the native code.
