RE: [Boost-Users] set thread priority

I'd think a relatively simple implementation would be to simply support them when possible, and otherwise turn all such calls into no-ops.

That would be a major pain for users. If they aren't available, they shouldn't exist, and the hooks for conditional compilation should be provided (this is what POSIX does).

Coming up with a range of priority values that would be portable shouldn't be too terribly difficult either.

Actually, this *IS* the difficult part (well, beyond the design decisions). -- William E. Kempf
