Hi
I was checking out if I could use Boost to port code written for Windows to Unix.
The code has calls to WaitForMultipleObject which I would need to replace.
You can always do the same thing by means of conditions and signals. The paradigm is slightly different, though. //... boost::condition cond; object1.signal.connect(boost::bind(&boost::condition::notify_all, &cond)); object2.signal.connect(boost::bind(&boost::condition::notify_all, &cond)); cond.wait(mutex_lock); //... In this case, the objects have explicit signals (consider the parallel to windows kernel objects, which have an implicit "signal", i.e. their wait state). Regards David Turner
