Hi!
Just someone is needed to pick it up.
Is it no longer getting supported by Ion?
I've already uploaded to the new Boost Vault the old version (I've put it in Memory folder). Because of holidays, KDE translations, and thread_ex work, I had no time to improve it, but right now I'm working in a new version, concentrating in simplifying the library, adding sgi slist container, some optimizations, and some new features. I wanted to experiment with SGI ropes, but I've seen this is a lot of work. Of course, the process-shared mutexes, conditions, locks, etc... in this library (I also have a process-shared message-queue) should go in a library with inter-thread synchronization stuff, with the same interface as new boost.threads (or better said, C++ 0x interface). Shmem is big and splitting this part first would make easier to review Shmem. As seen in C++ committee papers, threads are alive, and I hope that there will be a thread/mutex interface proposal soon (I'm big supporter of Kevlin Kenney's interface with improved lockers). Now that I see Shmem is not updated for 3 months, I think it's time to a new version! Regards, Ion
