Re: [Boost-users] [interprocess] nptl compatibility

Hello Ion,

I would like to use the interprocess library and some NPTL features (pthread_setaffinity_np => assign a thread to a cpu) at the same time. The pthread_setaffinity_np function is declared in /usr/include/nptl/pthread.h (on my developer platform), but throughout the interprocess/boost headers I can find

#include

... which makes me think that /usr/include/pthread.h is included. Can I simply swap in the interprocess .hpp files the include statements to this:

#include

... or do you know of a cleaner solution?

From your words I guess that and are incompatible and you can only include one of them (maybe each one refer to a different pthread implementation)? If so, you could just add the "/usr/include/nptl/" to the front of your include directories (-I option in gcc) so that #include includes ntpl/pthread.h instead of pthread.h. That supposing ntpl/pthread.h has all the needed pthread declarations (since NTPL is an implementation of pthread, I suppose that should be true) used by Interprocess. Or am I missing something?
