Hi, I have noticed that in version 1.45 Ion Gaztanaga has added detail/robust_emulation.hpp which contains code that seems to emulate pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np(). I understand this may be needed for platforms that don't support robust mutexes. My version of linux does seem to support robust mutexes, however I could not find a way to compile or in any other way to use this flag on posix mutexes in boost 1.46.1. Article here ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1179685/how-do-i-take-ownership-of-an-aba...) indicates the way to do this. But now emulation for robust mutexes has been added I wonder if I am missing something. Thanks, ddrum
