If BOOST_THREAD_DEFINES_THREAD_ATTRIBUTES_NATIVE_HANDLE is defined, boost::thread has a native_handle_type and a native_handle() function.
You can use those (pthread_t, HANDLE, whatnot) with your native platform functionality of choice to adjust thread priority, if such a concept exists.
Allright all I needed to know !
A reason it doesn't exist in Boost is because not all platforms has an uniform "priority" system with the same kind of absolute/relative priorities and tiers.
Makes sense and is completely acceptable if the above mentioned concept applies. Thanks, best Alex
