One principle behind the new lock templates is that it should be easy to incorporate new mutex and lock types, and they will still work with the existing facilities (e.g. condition_variable_any).
<nod> This is the reason I'm interested in Preston's work. I see it as a test of the N2447 (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2447.htm ) interface. I've been perusing interruptable_mutex.h this morning and noting that a lot of the complication is in dealing with the older boost::mutex interface (lock_ops and all that). I'd be very interested in seeing this recast to the newer interface, just for the purpose of testing the new interface. -Howard
