I'm also concerned that none of the practicable dates mentioned above will make the EWG's cutoff date for C++0x, and I'm not sure we can afford to release another standard without threading support.
You should probably mention what the EWG cutoff date is. :-)
I would if I remembered for sure. I think it's something like, no new proposals considered after the next meeting.
As for the "afford to release"... There's always the safe choice of <cpthread> + specifying that cancellation is a C++ exception. C++ification can then be done in a TR.
That's a possibility, but it doesn't necessarily align with some strong convictions from experienced concurrent programmers on the committee. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
