Hi to all,
Hello, [snip]
I'm also concerned with (in my opinion) needed compatibility with Embedded C++. C++ will grow a lot in this area and obviously, threads are very used. Embedded C++ specification (http://www.caravan.net/ec2plus/) avoids templates and exceptions, so we need to think some alternatives (apart from exceptions, just like iostreams do) to do error checking. And provide some low-resource specializations or alternatives to the full-scale C++ threading.
I dont that the embedded C++ should be a concern. It is just a too small subset of C++, that I think would avoid better solutions for "backward"(since I think EC++ is a step back) compatibility. I even agree with Bjarne Stroustrup FAQ about EC++: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq.html#EC++
Regards,
good work.

P.D.: I plan to continue Shmem development although, I will have less time to work on it because of this threading work. I plan to upload a new snapshot soon.
I hadnt time to see Shmem yet, but I'm trying to find some time to take a look at it. It really seems interesting and is certainly very useful. best regards, -- Felipe Magno de Almeida Developer from synergy and Computer Science student from State University of Campinas(UNICAMP).
