Review and commentary upon a proposed new Boost object, boost::permit<> is invited.
Aren't permits just Windows events?
A non-consuming permit looks quite like a Win32 event object yes, except it has stronger guarantees useful for many-waiter many-signaller situations. A permit is completely user space though, and portable. A consuming permit looks totally different to Win32 event objects. I am not sure what else it resembles actually, perhaps a reusable future/promise. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
