Hi list. Since 1.50.0, the Boost.Thread documentation has started making references to std::this_thread::get_id() like in [1]. This is a bit strange, considering that the Thead library itself to my knowledge does not require C++11 (yet). Is this an accidental change? Should one read this as that the error condition is not achievable on C++03? 1.49: Preconditions: this->get_id()!=boost::this_thread::get_id() 1.50 (and 1.51): Preconditions: the thread is joinable. Error Conditions: resource_deadlock_would_occur: if deadlock is detected or this->get_id() == std::this_thread::get_id().
