I have found a test suite for various POSIX APIs, including the threading APIs at http://posixtest.sourceforge.net --- maybe some of the tests can be adapted to the boost threads API.
We certainly need better tests, the tests from pthread-win32 could probably be rewritten to use Boost.Thread primitives as well. Basically we want to beat this to death :-)
I'm overseas on biz for the next week and a bit. Another week after I get back we should have a basic framework and some tests in place I hope. With the testing I find it is important to demonstate that unsafe code fails where that is possible so the validity of the concurrency tests are strong for the protected versions. matt.
