i came across two issues of boost.thread in 1.50. Hi,
thanks for these reports.
the first is a minor issue: the 1.50 tarball contains a libs/thread/src/shared_mutex.cpp source file, which includes boost/thread/v2/shared_mutex.hpp, which does not exist. by default it is not built, so it is not a big problem, but it is not really clean, either. As you said this is not clean, could you create a ticket, please? the second issue is a bit more severe, as it is an undocumented API change: boost::TIME_UTC has been renamed to boost::TIME_UTC_ ... not sure what's the reason for it, but it breaks code that used the old symbol. this includes the boost-style threadpool library [1] ...
so i wonder, is this change really needed?
The change TIME_UTC_ was motivated by in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6940 TIME_UTC is a macro in C11. As TIME_UTC was not documented this don't seem a break change. The change in threadpool seems quite simple. Sorry for these inconveniences, Vicente
