I have a question about submissions. I have an enhancement, not a fix, for boost::interprocess (win32 native mutex and condition variables as an alternative to emulation). Ok to just submit the zip or should I open a ticket first?

see: http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html#effective

i.e., include [Interprocess] in the email topic so maybe the maintainer will read it.

Helpful, thank you. Another question.

Not only is it helpful, it just might get you a useful answer to your query, which I'll leave to Ion. Consequently, I added it for you.

I may not be able to justify to my employer completing the work to the satisfaction of all tests. For example, I don't have a working win32 native implementation of sharable and sharable- upgradable mutexes (aka read-write locks, I believe). Is it worth submitting in such a state in hopes others might be able to contribute, or should I hold off until I have time implement these and get all tests working?

I suspect the answer will be that offering something, even if not everything, will be helpful. Nevertheless, you need Ion to respond. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com Software Engineer using std::disclaimer; Dev Tools & Components Susquehanna International Group, LLP http://www.sig.com ________________________________ IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
