Re: [Boost-users] boost::recursive_mutex doesn't lock ???

but the main thread doesn't stop at boost::recursive_mutex::scoped_lock lock(io_mutex);

How should I implement it then? not using recursive_mutex?

I'd go for a barrier or condition variable(s) instead. A mutex is best suited locking/exclusion, not waiting for a condition. -- Best regards, Martin Dyring-Andersen
