Is this so? In case boost::shared_mutex is indeed non-recursive, I've read the following assertion on Hinnant's paper N2406 (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2406.html ):
"A recursive shared mutex could be built upon shared_mutex if desired, but this is not proposed."
Does anyone has a reference on how to construct a recursive shared_mutex from a non-recursive one?
i have an implementation of a recursive shared mutex (nova::rw_mutex), which is based on a nonrecursive wrapper for pthread_rwlock_t [1]. maybe this is of some help ... cheers, tim [1] http://tim.klingt.org/git?p=nova-server.git;a=blob;f=source/utilities/rw_mut... -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
