What other forms of concurrent programming?
I don't know what Beman was referring to, but process-based concurrency and distributed concurrency are not usually considered "threading."
I also wonder how work on accepting libraries can be done before or concurrently :o) with language changes that render them legitimate.
You make some educated guesses rather than waiting for all the details to settle. I don't think the major elements of the new memory model are still in doubt.
This has been a thorny issue for the memory model group. We basically have decided to finish the memory model first. In face of other threading libraries being proposed (by the way does any of the three support lock-free programming?), we might have to obey market laws and start working on a library as well, because we have a good idea on how it would look like.
I think it would be dangerous to do otherwise. There simply isn't enough time. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
