A new design and prototype implementation of boost::rw_mutex has been
uploaded to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/thread_rw_lock_v2.zip
Features/Shortcomings:
- Four types of explicit scheduling - reader_priority,
writer_priority, alternating (many reads), and alternating (single
reads). Thanks to Dan'l Miller for pointing out both types of
alternating schemes.
- Implemented completely in terms of existing Boost.Threads primitives
- Interface for a recursive_rw_mutex documented, but implementation
is not available (yet).
Comments welcome, as always.
