> Since the synchronous calls are [known|http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/zookeeperProgrammers.html#Using+the+C+Client] to be unimplemented in the single threaded version of the client library libzookeeper_st.so, I believe that it would be helpful towards users of the library if that information was also obvious from the header file.
> Anecdotally more than one of us here made the mistake of starting by using the synchronous calls with the single-threaded library, and we found ourselves debugging it.  An early warning would have been greatly appreciated.
> 1. Could you please add warnings to the doxygen blocks of all synchronous calls saying that they are not available in the single-threaded API.  This cannot be safely done with {{#ifdef THREADED}}, obviously, because the same header file is included whichever client library implementation one is compiling for.
> 2. Could you please bracket the implementation of all synchronous calls in zookeeper.c with {{#ifdef THREADED}} and {{#endif}}, so that those symbols are not present in libzookeeper_st.so?
