The recommended way is _beginthreadex / _endthreadex.

Don't use CreateThread. It's a kernel call, and won't duplicate the
run-time library's memory properly.

Don't use _beginthread / _endthread (or be careful with them). The
handle is closed by _endthread (or by the thread's function
returning), so the handle returned by _beginthread can become invalid,
perhaps even before the caller runs.
