I'm working on a preliminary solution for an interface-compatible but thread-safe implementation of Signals for my project so that I will be able to switch to Boost.Signals should Doug Gregor find the time to add thread-safety there.
It is unlikely that I will ever find the time to do this, despite the fact that it is the most-requested feature in any piece of software I have ever written. I urge you (and Frank, and others that have gone down this path) to consider completing a thread-safe signals/slots library and submitting it to Boost. If you maintain (or nearly maintain) the Signals interface, I would be thrilled make your thread- safe implementation into Signals version 2, completely replacing the existing version. Cheers, Doug
