Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [signals] dropping ThreadingModel template
parameter
a problem
I'd like to address is how painful it currently is to declare a
thread-safe signal, the threading model being at the end of a long list
of
template parameters. Two possibilities come to mind. One is making
lightweight_mutex the default ThreadingModel, maybe called
"auto_threaded"
and still providing single_threaded and multi_threaded for those
determined enough to plow through all the template parameters. The
other
is providing a templated typedef class that uses a tweaked set of
defaults
for the template parameters appropriate for thread-safety. For example,
mt_signal<Signature>::type
might be a signal type using last_value
