+// MARK: - libsmbclient thread support
+//
+// libsmbclient keeps its talloc stackframe and a few global locks behind a
+// table of thread functions. Without one installed (smbc_thread_posix() is not
+// exported by this build), every thread shares a single stackframe, so two
+// threads using libsmbclient at once - a download through this bridge and
+// FFmpeg playing an smb:// file - free each other's allocations and abort in
+// talloc. The table mirrors `struct smb_thread_functions` from Samba's
+// lib/util/smb_threads.h; this is the SMB_THREADS_DEF_PTHREAD_IMPLEMENTATION.
