I all the time use mutexs and conditions in in following manner:

// wait for some condition { mutex::scoped_lock lock(m_mutex); while(<condition>) m_condition.wait(lock); }
I cannot see where you are signaling the condition.
I'm wondering about something like this:
// declaration monitor<Type> m_value;
// set new value - locking in done in a monitor assignment m_value = new_value
// wait for some condition m_value.wait(<lambda expression>) Do you think this concept is generally useful and should be added to the library?
This might be useful, but can be added later on, since it can easily be expressed in terms of the basic primitives. Currently we are busy doing a rewrite of the library to get it under the new boost license. regards, roland
