-------------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Remove pthread and boost::thread library support and use std::thread for C++11
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-4514
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4514
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Assignee: James E. King III
> Priority: Major
>
> We have a pretty awful thread class implementation:
> 1. The build system compiles in the right files to implement the class
> definition.
> 2. We support three thread libraries.
> I want to simplify this, tremendously, to:
> A. Remove the pthread implementation.
> B. Remove the boost thread implementation.
> C. Rename the std thread implementation (StdThreadFactory) to ThreadFactory
> D. Have one thread class implementation!
> E. Remove the WITH_STDTHREADS build time option as it will no longer be
> necessary.
> In short:
> * Support std::thread for C++11 or later
> * Drop support for boost threads
> * Drop support for native pthreads
> We have a lot of branches and test conditionals that do special things with
> different thread implementations. We need to simplify and move forward to
> reduce the maintenance cost in this area.
> Any objections?
