One principle behind the new lock templates is that it should be easy to incorporate new mutex and lock types, and they will still work with the existing facilities (e.g. condition_variable_any).
Hi Anthony, Can you clarify what you mean by that please? Are you saying that if I have a new mutex (e.g. my futex implementation) I should be able to use it with the existing condition_variable_any? (Is that what the "_any" means?) If that's true I'm impressed; I thought that it was necessary to have some sort of atomic unlock-A-and-lock-B method to do that. Regards, Phil.
