I've been trying to solve the deadlock problem reported here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/08/92307.php but I've simply run into more and more problems, and just about every operation I've tried will deadlock if you try hard enough.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
So, do we yank read_write_mutex from 1.33.1 and, err, start over?
I think it should be yanked. There will be a new implementation in the rewrite. I don't really think we should be trying to re-implement r/w mutexes on platforms that provide them natively at this stage. We should have a portable mechanism that wraps the posix implementation and try and provide that on win32 as well. matt.
