Manuel Teira commented on QPID-1148:
------------------------------------
I've hit a related issue after changes in r671604: use flock to lock data dir
rather than a lock file. Since the flock interface is only supported in Solaris
as a compatibility interface, and is frightnening foolish users with
multithread pain and sorrow, the lockf interface would be preferred, but that
abstraction on an qpid::sys class would be even better.
Is there somebody working on this, or should I dare to implement it?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ Broker
> Reporter: Alan Conway

> The broker code uses posix calls lockf and flock for file locking. These
> calls need to be moved to abstraction classes in qpid::sys so that porting
> work (in particular to windows) can replace the implementations without
> having to refactor top-level broker code.
