Re: [boost] Submission for boost::thread - interruptable_mutex

I have written a refinement on boost::mutex that allows for it to be interrupted while waiting to acquire the mutex by altering a predicate (once the mutex is acquired, it acts like a regular mutex).

Here is the code: http://www.neuromancy.net/fisheye/browse/mantra/trunk/Mantra-I/mantra/utils/...

It's an interesting idea. I'm yet to be convinced that it's worth adding to boost.thread, though --- I'd rather just use a condition variable.
