Re: [Boost-users] mix usage of boost.thread and pthread?

Hua Su writes:

Is it OK to use both pthread and boost.thread in the same program under linux?

Yes.

1. use pthread api to create/join/detach/cancel threads but use boost.thread's mutex/condition_variable etc. to do thread synchronization, and this_thread/ sleep/get_id/thread_local_storage etc.. 

That's fine.

2. use boost.thread api to create/join/detach/interrupt thread but use pthread api to do thread synchronization.

And that's fine too.
