Firstly, apologies if this is a FAQ. What is the current status of boost::threads on Solaris 2.6 using the Forte 6u1 (5.2) compiler? Is this a "supported" platform/compiler combination. If it "kind of works", are there any known issues which I will need to code around, or is it completely broken. Is the issue with the Solaris pthreads or with the broken compiler? Does the compiler work well enough to be able to compile just the threads module. I'm looking for a threading abstraction portable to at least GCC/Linux, MSVC/Win32 and Forte/Solaris. Is boost::threads likely to be able to satisfy this requirement right now, or am I going to have to look elsewhere. If I do need to look elsewhere, can anyone recommend an alternative to paying large amounts of money away to Rogue Wave! Hope someone can help, regards, Gary
