Hello
Boost.Signal is clamed to be non thread safe. Boost.Thread does not have semaphores. So how in the world I can synchronize signal handlers with threads?
I assume you're talking about POSIX signals, not Boost.Signal here.
Boost.Signal is a signal/slot mechanism, providing similar functionality to Qt signals and slots (but in pure C++).
You are right, my quick impression was wrong.
Boost does not offer any assistance for asynchronous signal handling.
This is shame. That's why I don't understand why Boost.Thread does not support semaphores anymore. Without semaphores correct handling of POSIX signals in MT application is impossible. Cheers, Sergei
