Dear Boosters, I found the following problems in Boost.thread library:
i) Linux with KAI C++, Intel C++ On Linux, BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS macro is defined only if we use gcc (config/compiler/gcc.hpp), but it's not defined for other compilers (KAI, Intel, etc). I found that boost.thread compiles successfully by the latter compilers if I defined BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS macro (and BOOST_HAS_PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_SETTYPE) by hand, and all the examples worked fine. Is there any reason why these macros are not defined for these compilers?? ii) Compaq Tru64 with Compaq C++ and SGI IRIX with MIPSPro Compiler The example program for recursive mutex (libs/thread/example/ recursive_mutex.cpp) compiles on these platforms, but it crashes or ends up with deadlock if I try to run it. At the moment, I'm not sure where the problem is in recursive mutex implementation. If I undefine BOOST_HAS_PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_SETTYPE, it works without any problem.
