This should probably belong on the wiki, but I can't edit in the wiki (access denied). I've put up a rationale for the thread restructure with basic information as well here
I have added a link to the wiki. http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Threads I did not experience any kind of problems editing the page. Will try later again to put this into the wiki as well.
Should have some code / structure in place for discussion soon. First thing to agree on is the basic directory structure and header linkage philosophy.
A question that popped up in a discussion about asio, and others as well. Currently there seems to be a lot of code duplication in the boost library in the area of locking primitives. Altough I am not sure what the real reason is, one might be that boost::thread does not provide a header only implementation for these. Perhaps we should consider having part of the threading library available as header only? Any thoughts? Regards Roland
