I wonder if it is possible to use the signal library to do interprocess/(synchronized)interthread calls. Would it be easily possible to extend it into this aerea if not already possible?

I see that the FAQ mentions that a future version of Boost.Signals will be thread-safe. Are there any plans for this to happen any time soon?
I think we know how to do it, mostly, but there are no concrete plans to do it.
Right now, is there even a weak thread-safety guarantee? Specifically, may two separate signal objects be manipulated by two separate threads at the same time?
There really aren't any guarantees, even weak ones :( Doug -- Caleb Epstein caleb.epstein@gmail.com
