Re: [Boost-users] Memory management of boost::mutex

we have a custom memory manager that overrides global new/delete. It is currently not thread safe. Because we require thread safety now I wanted to ad a mutex and some locks around the critical parts. Unfortunately boost::mutex allocates memory itself.

boost::mutex does not directly allocate any memory itself, so this should not be a problem. Which version of boost are you using, on which platform?
