I am trying to create a class for performing log tracing. While my
present program is single threaded as far as my code is concerned this
may not always be the case. Below is the code that I am proposing to
use. What I am weak on is concurrent programming. I know that I need to
use a mutex but I am not sure how to use the boost thread mutex library
and locks. Can someone comment on how I can modify the Trace_State class
to use locking?
