Hi,

is it true, that boost::interprocess will only built on i386 and especially not on Solaris? We got this, when building boost::interprocess on Solaris

#error No atomic operations implemented for this platform, sorry!

If the system does not offer process-shared POSIX mutexes and condition variables (detected using _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED macro) a rough atomic library is used to emulate process-shared synchronization objects using spinlocks. The supported platforms are i386 and powerpc with gcc. Do you know if your Solaris system supports process-shared mutexes? Maybe I'm not detecting it properly. If this is not true, I would be glad if anyone could write the SPARC version of the atomic functions. Regards, Ion
