hello helge,
the shared library of boost.atomic on msvc is currently not really usable, as it does not export the pool_.
atm, all boost.lockfree tests of msvc fail for this reason. also according to Zao on irc, it will need some specific treatment to avoid the compilation of a static library.

The rites I had to perform to get Atomic to build in a way that it was usable as a DLL was:
[snip necessary steps]
In detail/lockpool.hpp, decorate the lockpool class as: class BOOST_ATOMIC_DECL lockpool and move the member functions that touch pool_ into lockpool.cpp, to avoid them from getting inlined in consumers.
Please find an alternative patch attached. You only have to explicitly export the "pool_" variable. No further changes are required.
As a side note, if Boost.Atomic is supposed to be a compiled library, it should probably implement autolinking as per [3].
Copied and pasted into detail/config.hpp, but not tested. Okay to commit? Any other ideas? Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 ! Fährstraße 1 * fax : ++49 4257 300 ! 31609 Balge/Sebbenhausen * jhunold@gmx.eu ! Germany
