I need to use a high priority thread in order to perform time-critical midi processing under Windows XP and MacOSX. Did I miss something?
Hi Amit, No you didn't miss anything. It doesn't exist but is on the to do list. It is worthwhile remembering that when boost does add such a mechanism it is likely to be a fairly simple abstraction to maintain portability and a specific platform may offer extended mechanisms. The meaning of priorities and scheduling mechanisms vary quite a bit from platform to platform. Regards, Matt.
