|
|
The original implementation of __boost_thread__ was written by William Kempf, with contributions from numerous others. This new
|
|
version initially grew out of an attempt to rewrite __boost_thread__ to William Kempf's design with fresh code that could be
|
|
released under the Boost Software License. However, as the C++ Standards committee have been actively discussing standardizing a
|
|
thread library for C++, this library has evolved to reflect the proposals, whilst retaining as much backwards-compatibility as
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
Particular thanks must be given to Roland Schwarz, who contributed a lot of time and code to the original __boost_thread__ library,
|
|
and who has been actively involved with the rewrite. The scheme for dividing the platform-specific implementations into separate
|
|
directories was devised by Roland, and his input has contributed greatly to improving the quality of the current implementation.
|
|
|
|
Thanks also must go to Peter Dimov, Howard Hinnant, Alexander Terekhov, Chris Thomasson and others for their comments on the
|
|
implementation details of the code.
