Hello,

...

I've read Anthony Williams' articles and documentation but still have no definite answer. Thus two questions:

1. Is it safe to use a block level static boost::mutex on Unix and Windows? 2. Is it safe to use a file/class level static boost::mutex on Unix and Windows?

Hi,

I don't see what kind of problems are your expecting. Could you clarify? What do you mean by safe?

I believe Serge is asking whether a zero-initialized mutex is the same as default-constructed. It also might matter whether mutex has a non-trivial destructor. Roman Perepelitsa.
