[Boost-users] Access to underlying system thread

Hi, I like using boost threads, but I'm currently working on a project where I need to access the private handle to the underlying system thread (in the cases I'm concerned about, the pthread_t). This is so that I can take advantage of platform-specific functionality, such as setting CPU affinity and (more generally) calling into other libraries that expect a pthread_t. Is there any way to do get this handle? Thanks! -- Yang Zhang http://www.mit.edu/~y_z/
