I was planning to do this after I finished a couple of other Boost.Thread tasks, but I can move up steps 1) and 2) if it's really in demand. Look for it later today or perhaps tomorrow.
I'm interested, but it's not time-critical. Thanks.
I've checked these changes into the thread_dev branch (rw_lock.hpp, rw_mutex.hpp, rw_mutex.cpp). Anyone who is interested please take a look and comment. Major changes (see change logs in the files themselves for additional details): * Add lock promotion and demotion. * Rename to improve consistency and eliminate abbreviations: Use "read" and "write" instead of "shared" and "exclusive". Change "rd" to "read", "wr" to "write", "rw" to "read_write". * Change try lock & timed lock constructor parameters for consistency. * Add many assertions to test validity of mutex state and operations. Things still to be done (any help with these tasks would be greatly appreciated): Update documentation Update tests Mike
