I have to be honest: I'm not even sure how to go about debugging this: basically the test program spawns 10 threads each of which then runs the regex test code. In other words it's a stress-test to detect multi-threading issues. Are there any known problems with gcc and threading on that platform? With gcc 4.1 and later multi threading is simply broken on Tru64. But it should work with earlier version. IIRC, 3.x uses DEC threads and 4.x uses POSIX threads. That might explain the different behaviors we're observing.
Oh, hold on: regex uses POSIX threads, come to that so does Boost.Threads and the test driver program. However, the threads lib tests all pass so I assumed it wasn't an issue as simple as this. So is this just a case of "not supported"?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand at all what you are trying to tell me. Could you please rephrase that somehow? Thanks, Markus
