A hashed lock library would be welcome here, I'm sure.
Yes, this would be a really helpful addition to Boost.Thread -- implementing fallback for atomic operations is just not feasible without.
could you explain this please? I use something like that myself, as a workaround, but I don't see how that is a desired solution. why would you hash to access something that should be one word in size? in makes sense if you try to avoid the pthread mutex memory overhead, but if you put effort into it wouldn't it make more sense to replicate exactly what pthreads does inside boost and avoid the overhead and the hashing?
