I'm noticing the mutex appears in the precompiled library part of the code. A desirable design goal for the final implementation is for the user to be able to put thread-unsafe signals in his single-threaded code and not have to link to libboost_thread and other threading libraries. It seems like that would either require the mutex code be kept in the headers, in classes templated by the thread-safety policy (probably partial template specializations), or two separate precompiled library provided, one for the thread-safe and one for the thread-unsafe signals.
Such a policy template parameter would probably make the whole library header only anyway. Regards Timmo Stange
