Query on the Boost Library Support

Hi, I am analyzing the different IPC mechanism of Boost. Can someone help me with the following queries? 1. Is there something available in boost similar to windows "events". I mean where one thread can wait on one event and another thread signals the event. I was going through Boost.signals2, but it seems more of a function call back. 2. Is there support for FIFO, PIPE & POSIX signals Thanks, Alap ________________________________ This Email may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient (s) If you are not the intended recipient, please do not use or disseminate the information, notify the sender and delete it from your system. ______________________________________________________________________

Use a condition variable. http://www.boost.org/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchroniza...

I don't think there's anything for signals. I believe that interprocess has a message queue. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

I once proposed an extension to asio which helps handling unix signals. The current version can be found here http://github.com/dgoncharov/libunixsignal Regards, Dmitry
