A number of these dealing with sharing objects, such as mutexes, semaphores, signaling events, are useful not merely in the context of threading but also in other contexts, such as interprocess communication, fibers, memory mapping and/or sharing etc. with other uses on different OSs. Might these be better put in their own separate Boost library, and then be used by Boost threading and whatever other Boost libraries might need them without incurring the overhead of linking to the entire threading library ?
Definitely yes. Ion had already implemented these things within Boost.Shmem library (in sandbox). Just someone is needed to pick it up. /Pavel
