Hi!
I have the following questions about boost.thread:
1) Did I miss an abstraction about atomic operations, e.g. for ++, --,
+=, -=, <, ==, =, ... for uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, ... (something like
InterlockedIncrement() on WIN32)? I know that I can Mutexes and Locks to
implement the desired behavior, but I think a more lightweight solution for
this basic operations should be available, too.
2) How can I change the priority of a boost::thread?
3) boost::shared_ptr<> and boost::weak_ptr<> are not thread safe, are they?
What is the suggested way to write thread safe implementations of them?
