Hi,
Is someone interested in adapting the current Boost.Thread interface to the C++0x stardard proposal?

Unfortunately, detailed specification and implementations of std::thread won't appear until after TR2 is released, which means that there is not much to be done at this point to write Boost.Thread as a wrapper for std::thread. One can check this proposal for a TR2 threading library if interested: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1883.pdf (important notes on IV.C, Comparison with the Boost.Thread approach) However, I believe that this idea should be dropped at the moment since there isn't sufficient information about the upcoming C++1x threading library. Maybe it will be more appropriate for the next year's GSoC ;) But maybe I'm just wrong and misinformed. Yours faithfully, Stefan _______________________________________________ Hi, I was not refering to the Kevlin Henney proposal, but the one it is already accepted in N3092 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2010/n3092.pdf The chapter include the complete proposal. You can take a look at chapter 30. In http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2661.htm#Threads N2661 - A Foundation to Sleep On you can see some of the changes needed. Anyway, I think that it will be also a good idea for GSoC to implementing the Kevlin Henney proposal, even if the proposal is yet open. I remember that there was an implementation of this before futures had been included in C++0x. Best, Vicente
