Re: [Boost-users] Thread question.... detecting deadlocks?

Is there a way to turn on deadlock detection in the thread library somehow?

There is no deadlock detection provided as part of boost.thread. You can use external tools such as Intel Thread Checker to detect deadlocks in code using Boost.Thread. Alternatively, deadlock detection is provided as part of my commercial implementation of the C++0x thread library (see sig).
