-# Boost.Threads build Jamfile
-#
-# Declares the following targets:
-#   1. libboost_thread, a static link library.
-#      1a. On Win32 (when PTW32 is not defined), a dynamic link library
-#          boost_threadmon, which must be used in conjunction with
-#          libboost_thread. Note that this DLL *must* be used through static
-#          linking to the import library.  Dynamic loading will cause undefined
-#          behavior.
-# Additional configuration variables used:
-#   1. PTW32 may be used on Win32 platforms to specify that the pthreads-win32
-#      library should be used instead of "native" threads. This feature is
-#      mostly used for testing and it's generally recommended you use the
-#      native threading libraries instead. PTW32 should be set to be a list
-#      of two strings, the first specifying the installation path of the
-#      pthreads-win32 library and the second specifying which library
-#      variant to link against (see the pthreads-win32 documentation).
-#      Example: jam -sPTW32="c:\pthreads-win32 pthreadVCE.lib"

+# The boost threading library can be built on top of different API's
+# Currently this is the win32 API and the pthreads API.
+# Pthread is native on unix variants.
+# To get pthread on windows you need the pthread win32 library
+# http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32 which is available under LGPL.
+#
+# You need to provide the include path and lib path in the variables
+# PTW32_INCLUDE and PTW32_LIB respectively. You can specify these
+# paths in site-config.jam, user-config.jam or in the environment.
+# A new feature is provided to request a specific API:
+# <threadapi>win32 and <threadapi)pthread.
+#
+# The naming of the resulting libraries is mostly the same for the
+# variant native to the build platform, i.e.
+# boost_thread and the boost specific tagging.
+# For the library variant that is not native on the build platform
+# an additional tag is applied:
+# boost_thread_pthread for the pthread variant on windows, and
+# boost_thread_win32 for the win32 variant (likely when built on cygwin).
+#
+# To request the pthread variant on windows, from boost root you would
+# say e.g:
+# bjam msvc-8.0 --with-thread install threadapi=pthread

+      </purpose>
+
+      <description>
+		<para>When a barrier is created, it is initialized with a thread count N.
+		The first N-1 calls to <code>wait()</code> will all cause their threads to be blocked. 
+		The Nth call to <code>wait()</code> will allow all  of the waiting threads, including 
+		the Nth thread, to be placed in a ready state.  The Nth call will also "reset"
+		the barrier such that, if an additional N+1th call is made to <code>wait()</code>, 
+		it will be as though this were the first call to <code>wait()</code>; in other
+		words, the N+1th to 2N-1th calls to <code>wait()</code> will cause their
+		threads to be blocked, and the 2Nth call to <code>wait()</code> will allow all of

+	How you build the &Boost.Thread; libraries, and how you build your own applications
+	that use those libraries, are some of the most frequently asked questions. Build
+	processes are difficult to deal with in a portable manner. That's one reason
+	why &Boost.Thread; makes use of &Boost.Build;.
+	In general you should refer to the documentation for &Boost.Build;.
+	This document will only supply you with some simple usage examples for how to
+	use <emphasis>bjam</emphasis> to build and test &Boost.Thread;. In addition, this document
+	will try to explain the build requirements so that users may create their own
+	build processes (for instance, create an IDE specific project), both for building
+	and testing &Boost.Thread;, as well as for building their own projects using
+	&Boost.Thread;.

+		<title>Building the &Boost.Thread; Libraries</title>
+        <para>
+            Building the &Boost.Thread; Library depends on how you intend to use it. You have several options:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem>
+                    Using as a <link linkend="thread.build.precompiled">precompiled</link> library, possibly
+                    with auto-linking, or for use from within an IDE.
+                </listitem>
+                <listitem>
+                    Use from a <link linkend="thread.build.bjam">&Boost.Build;</link> project.
+                </listitem>
+                <listitem>
+                    Using in <link linkend="thread.build.source">source</link> form.
+                </listitem>
+            </itemizedlist>
+        </para>
+        <section id="thread.build.precompiled">
+            <title>Precompiled</title>
+            <para>
+                Using the &Boost.Thread; library in precompiled form is the way to go if you want to
+                install the library to a standard place, from where your linker is able to resolve code
+                in binary form. You also will want this option if compile time is a concern. Multiple 
+                variants are available, for different toolsets and build variants (debug/release).
+                The library files are named <emphasis>{lead}boost_thread{build-specific-tags}.{extension}</emphasis>,
+                where the build-specific-tags indicate the toolset used to build the library, whether it's
+                a debug or release build, what version of &Boost; was used, etc.; and the lead and extension
+                are the appropriate extensions for a dynamic link library or static library for the platform
+                for which &Boost.Thread; is being built.
+            	For instance, a debug build of the dynamic library built for Win32 with VC++ 7.1 using Boost 1.34 would
+            	be named <emphasis>boost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_34.dll</emphasis>.
+                More information on this should be available from the &Boost.Build; documentation.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Building should be possible with the default configuration. If you are running into problems,
+                it might be wise to adjust your local settings of &Boost.Build; though. Typically you will
+                need to get your user-config.jam file to reflect your environment, i.e. used toolsets. Please
+                refer to the &Boost.Build; documentation to learn how to do this.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                To create the libraries you need to open a command shell and change to the 
+                <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis> directory. From there you give the command 
+                <programlisting>bjam --toolset=<emphasis>mytoolset</emphasis> stage --with-thread</programlisting>
+                Replace <emphasis>mytoolset</emphasis> with the name of your toolset, e.g. msvc-7.1 .
+                This will compile and put the libraries into the <emphasis>stage</emphasis> directory which is just below the
+                <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis> directory. &Boost.Build; by default will generate static and 
+                dynamic variants for debug and release.
+            </para>
+            <note>
+                Invoking the above command without the --with-thread switch &Boost.Build; will build all of 
+	            the Boost distribution, including &Boost.Thread;.
+            </note>
+            <para>
+                The next step is to copy your libraries to a place where your linker is able to pick them up.
+                It is also quite possible to leave them in the stage directory and instruct your IDE to take them
+                from there.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                In your IDE you then need to add <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis>/boost to the paths where the compiler
+                expects to find files to be included. For toolsets that support <emphasis>auto-linking</emphasis>
+                it is not necessary to explicitly specify the name of the library to link against, it is sufficient
+                to specify the path of the stage directory. Typically this is true on Windows. For gcc you need 
+                to specify the exact library name (including all the tags). Please don't forget that threading
+                support must be turned on to be able to use the library. You should be able now to build your
+                project from the IDE.
+            </para>

+            <para>
+                If you have decided to use &Boost.Build; as a build environment for your application, you simply
+                need to add a single line to your <emphasis>Jamroot</emphasis> file:
+                <programlisting>use-project /boost : {path-to-boost-root} ;</programlisting>
+                where <emphasis>{path-to-boost-root}</emphasis> needs to be replaced with the location of
+                your copy of the boost tree.
+                Later when you specify a component that needs to link against &Boost.Thread; you specify this
+                as e.g.:
+                <programlisting>exe myapp : {myappsources} /boost//thread ;</programlisting>
+                and you are done.

+            <title>Source Form</title>
+            <para>
+                Of course it is also possible to use the &Boost.Thread; library in source form.
+                First you need to specify the <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis>/boost directory as
+                a path where your compiler expects to find files to include. It is not easy
+                to isolate the &Boost.Thread; include files from the rest of the boost 
+                library though. You would also need to isolate every include file that the thread
+                library depends on. Next you need to copy the files from 
+                <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis>/libs/thread/src to your project and instruct your
+                build system to compile them together with your project. Please look into the
+                <emphasis>Jamfile</emphasis> in <emphasis>boost_root</emphasis>/libs/thread/build
+                to find out which compiler options and defines you will need to get a clean compile.
+                Using the boost library in this way is the least recommended, and should only be
+                considered if avoiding dependency on &Boost.Build; is a requirement. Even if so
+                it might be a better option to use the library in it's precompiled form. 
+                Precompiled downloads are available from the boost consulting web site, or as
+                part of most linux distributions.

+      <description>
+        <para>A <classname>condition</classname> object is always used in
+          conjunction with a <link linkend="thread.concepts.mutexes">mutex</link>
+          object (an object whose type is a model of a <link
+            linkend="thread.concepts.Mutex">Mutex</link> or one of its
+          refinements). The mutex object must be locked prior to waiting on the
+          condition, which is verified by passing a lock object (an object whose
+          type is a model of <link linkend="thread.concepts.Lock">Lock</link> or
+          one of its refinements) to the <classname>condition</classname> object's
+          wait functions. Upon blocking on the <classname>condition</classname>
+          object, the thread unlocks the mutex object. When the thread returns
+          from a call to one of the <classname>condition</classname> object's wait
+          functions the mutex object is again locked. The tricky unlock/lock
+          sequence is performed automatically by the

-<p>Include the header &lt;<a href="../../../boost/thread/condition.hpp">boost/thread/condition.hpp</a>&gt; 
-  to define the class condition.</p>
-<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
-<h3><a name="class-condition"></a>Class <code>condition</code></h3>
-<p>An object of class <code>condition</code> is a synchronization primitive used 
-  to cause a thread to wait until a particular shared-data condition (or time) 
-  is met. A <code>condition</code> object is always used in conjunction with a 
-  mutex object (an object whose type is a model of <a href="mutex_concept.html">Mutex</a> 
-  or one of its refinements). The mutex object must be locked prior to waiting 
-  on the <code>condition</code>, which is verified by passing a lock object (an 
-  object whose type is a model of <a href="lock_concept.html">Lock</a> or one 
-  of its refinements) to the <code>condition</code> object&#39;s <code>wait</code> 
-  functions. Upon blocking on the condition object, the thread unlocks the mutex 
-  object. When the thread returns from a call to one of the condition object's 
-  wait functions the mutex object is again locked. The tricky unlock/lock sequence 
-  is performed automatically by the <code> condition</code> object&#39;s <code>wait</code> 
-  functions.</p>
-<p>The <code>condition</code> type is often used to implement the <i> Monitor 
-  Object</i> and other important patterns (see <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">[Schmidt 
-  00]</a> and <a href="bibliography.html#Hoare-74">[Hoare 74]</a>). Monitors are 
-  one of the most important patterns for creating reliable multithreaded programs.</p>
-<p>See <a href="definitions.html">Formal Definitions</a> for definitions of thread 
-  states <a href="definitions.html#state"> blocked</a> and <a href="definitions.html#state">ready</a>. 
-  Note that &quot;waiting&quot; is a synonym for blocked.</p>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>The definitions are given in terms of the <a href=
-        "bibliography.html#ISO-98">C++ Standard</a>. References to the standard 
-  are in the form [1.2.3/4], which represents the section number, with the paragraph 
-  number following the &quot;/&quot;.</p>
-<p>Because the definitions are written in something akin to &quot;standardese&quot;, 
-  they can be difficult to understand. The intent isn&#39;t to confuse, but rather 
-  to clarify the additional requirements Boost.Threads places on a C++ implementation 
-  as defined by the C++ Standard.</p>
-<h2><a name="definitions"></a>Definitions</h2>
-<h3><a name="definition-thread"></a>Thread</h3>
-<p>Thread is short for &quot;thread of execution&quot;. A thread of execution 
-  is an execution environment [1.9/7] within the execution environment of a C++ 
-  program [1.9]. The main() function [3.6.1] of the program is the initial function 
-  of the initial thread. A program in a multithreading environment always has 
-  an initial thread even if the program explicitly creates no additional threads.</p>

+<section id="thread.design" last-revision="$Date$">
+  <title>Design</title>
+  <para>With client/server and three-tier architectures becoming common place
+  in today's world, it's becoming increasingly important for programs to be
+  able to handle parallel processing. Modern day operating systems usually
+  provide some support for this through native thread APIs. Unfortunately,
+  writing portable code that makes use of parallel processing in C++ is made
+  very difficult by a lack of a standard interface for these native APIs.
+  Further, these APIs are almost universally C APIs and fail to take
+  advantage of C++'s strengths, or to address concepts unique to C++, such as
+  exceptions.</para>
+  <para>The &Boost.Thread; library is an attempt to define a portable interface
+  for writing parallel processes in C++.</para>
+  <section id="thread.design.goals">
+    <title>Goals</title>
+    <para>The &Boost.Thread; library has several goals that should help to set
+	it apart from other solutions. These goals are listed in order of precedence
+	with full descriptions below.
+    <variablelist>
+	  <varlistentry>
+	    <term>Portability</term>
+		<listitem>
+          <para>&Boost.Thread; was designed to be highly portable. The goal is
+		  for the interface to be easily implemented on any platform that
+		  supports threads, and possibly even on platforms without native thread
+		  support.</para>
+		</listitem>
+	  </varlistentry>
+	  <varlistentry>
+        <term>Safety</term>
+        <listitem>
+          <para>&Boost.Thread; was designed to be as safe as possible. Writing
+		  <link linkend="thread.glossary.thread-safe">thread-safe</link>
+		  code is very difficult and successful libraries must strive to
+		  insulate the programmer from dangerous constructs as much as
+		  possible. This is accomplished in several ways:
+          <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem>
+              <para>C++ language features are used to make correct usage easy
+			  (if possible) and error-prone usage impossible or at least more
+			  difficult. For example, see the <link
+			  linkend="thread.concepts.Mutex">Mutex</link> and <link
+			  linkend="thread.concepts.Lock">Lock</link> designs, and note
+			  how they interact.</para>
+            </listitem>
+            <listitem>
+              <para>Certain traditional concurrent programming features are
+			  considered so error-prone that they are not provided at all. For
+			  example, see <xref linkend="thread.rationale.events" />.</para>
+            </listitem>
+            <listitem>
+              <para>Dangerous features, or features which may be misused, are
+              identified as such in the documentation to make users aware of
+              potential pitfalls.</para>
+            </listitem>
+          </itemizedlist></para>
+		</listitem>
+	  </varlistentry>
+      <varlistentry>
+	    <term>Flexibility</term>
+		<listitem>
+		  <para>&Boost.Thread; was designed to be flexible. This goal is often
+		  at odds with <emphasis>safety</emphasis>. When functionality might be
+		  compromised by the desire to keep the interface safe, &Boost.Thread;
+		  has been designed to provide the functionality, but to make it's use
+		  prohibitive for general use. In other words, the interfaces have been
+		  designed such that it's usually obvious when something is unsafe, and
+		  the documentation is written to explain why.</para>
+        </listitem>
+	  </varlistentry>
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term>Efficiency</term>
+		<listitem>
+          <para>&Boost.Thread; was designed to be as efficient as
+		  possible. When building a library on top of another library there is
+		  always a danger that the result will be so much slower than the
+		  "native" API that programmers are inclined to ignore the higher level
+		  API. &Boost.Thread; was designed to minimize the chances of this
+		  occurring. The interfaces have been crafted to allow an implementation
+		  the greatest chance of being as efficient as possible. This goal is
+		  often at odds with the goal for <emphasis>safety</emphasis>. Every
+		  effort was made to ensure efficient implementations, but when in
+		  conflict <emphasis>safety</emphasis> has always taken
+		  precedence.</para>
+        </listitem>
+	  </varlistentry>
+    </variablelist></para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title>Iterative Phases</title>
+    <para>Another goal of &Boost.Thread; was to take a dynamic, iterative
+	approach in its development. The computing industry is still exploring the
+	concepts of parallel programming. Most thread libraries supply only simple
+	primitive concepts for thread synchronization. These concepts are very
+	simple, but it is very difficult to use them safely or to provide formal
+	proofs for constructs built on top of them. There has been a lot of research
+	into other concepts, such as in "Communicating Sequential Processes."
+	&Boost.Thread; was designed in iterative steps, with each step providing 
+	the building blocks necessary for the next step and giving the researcher 
+	the tools necessary to explore new concepts in a portable manner.</para>
+    <para>Given the goal of following a dynamic, iterative approach
+	&Boost.Thread; shall go through several growth cycles. Each phase in its
+	development shall be roughly documented here.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title>Phase 1, Synchronization Primitives</title>
+    <para>Boost is all about providing high quality libraries with
+	implementations for many platforms. Unfortunately, there's a big problem
+	faced by developers wishing to supply such high quality libraries, namely
+	thread-safety. The C++ standard doesn't address threads at all, but real
+	world programs often make use of native threading support. A portable
+	library that doesn't address the issue of thread-safety is therefore not
+	much help to a programmer who wants to use the library in his multithreaded
+	application. So there's a very great need for portable primitives that will
+	allow the library developer to create <link
+	linkend="thread.glossary.thread-safe">thread-safe</link>
+	implementations. This need far out weighs the need for portable methods to
+	create and manage threads.</para>
+    <para>Because of this need, the first phase of &Boost.Thread; focuses
+	solely on providing portable primitive concepts for thread
+	synchronization. Types provided in this phase include the
+	<classname>boost::mutex</classname>, 
+	<classname>boost::try_mutex</classname>,
+	<classname>boost::timed_mutex</classname>, 
+	<classname>boost::recursive_mutex</classname>,
+	<classname>boost::recursive_try_mutex</classname>,
+	<classname>boost::recursive_timed_mutex</classname>, and
+	<classname>boost::lock_error</classname>. These are considered the "core"
+	synchronization primitives, though there are others that will be added in
+	later phases.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section id="thread.design.phase2">
+    <title>Phase 2, Thread Management and Thread Specific Storage</title>
+    <para>This phase addresses the creation and management of threads and
+    provides a mechanism for thread specific storage (data associated with a
+    thread instance). Thread management is a tricky issue in C++, so this
+    phase addresses only the basic needs of multithreaded program. Later
+    phases are likely to add additional functionality in this area. This
+    phase of &Boost.Thread; adds the <classname>boost::thread</classname> and
+	<classname>boost::thread_specific_ptr</classname> types. With these
+	additions the &Boost.Thread; library can be considered minimal but
+	complete.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title>The Next Phase</title>
+    <para>The next phase will address more advanced synchronization concepts,
+    such as read/write mutexes and barriers.</para>
+  </section>

-<h2><a name="question1"></a>1. Are lock objects <a href="definitions.html#definition-thread-safe"> 
-  thread safe</a>?</h2>
-<p><b>No!</b> Lock objects are not meant to be shared between threads. They are 
-  meant to be short-lived objects created on automatic storage within a code block. 
-  Any other usage is just likely to lead to errors and won&#39;t really be of 
-  actual benefit any way. Share <a href=
-        "mutex_concept.html">mutexes</a>, not locks. For more information see 
-  the <a href="rationale.html#lock_objects">rationale</a> behind the design for 
-  lock objects.</p>
-<h2><a name="question2a"></a>2a. Why was <b>Boost.Threads</b> modeled after (specific 
-  library name)?</h2>
-<p>It wasn&#39;t. Boost.Threads was designed from scratch. Extensive design discussions 
-  involved numerous people representing a wide range of experience across many 
-  platforms. To ensure portability, the initial implements were done in parallel 
-  using POSIX Threads and the Win32 threading API. But the Boost.Threads design 
-  is very much in the spirit of C++, and thus doesn&#39;t model such C based APIs.</p>
-<h2><a name="question2b"></a>2b. Why wasn&#39;t Boost.Threads modeled after (specific 
-  library name)?</h2>
-<p>Existing C++ libraries either seemed dangerous (often failing to take advantage 
-  of prior art to reduce errors) or had excessive dependencies on library components 
-  unrelated to threading. Existing C libraries couldn&#39;t meet our C++ requirements, 
-  and were also missing certain features. For instance, the WIN32 thread API lacks 
-  condition variables, even though these are critical for the important Monitor 
-  pattern <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">[Schmidt 00]</a>.</p>
-<h2><a name="question3"></a>3. Why do <a href="mutex_concept.html">Mutexes</a> 
-  have noncopyable semantics?</h2>
-<p>To ensure that <a href="definitions.html#Deadlock">deadlocks</a> don&#39;t 
-  occur. The only logical form of copy would be to use some sort of shallow copy 
-  semantics in which multiple mutex objects could refer to the same mutex state. 
-  This means that if ObjA has a mutex object as part of its state and ObjB is 
-  copy constructed from it, then when ObjB::foo() locks the mutex it has effectively 
-  locked ObjA as well. This behavior can result in deadlock. Other copy semantics 
-  result in similar problems (if you think you can prove this to be wrong then 
-  supply us with an alternative and we&#39;ll reconsider).</p>
-<h2><a name="question4"></a>4. How can you prevent <a href="definitions.html#Deadlock"> 
-  deadlock</a> from occurring when a thread must lock multiple mutexes?</h2>
-<p>Always lock them in the same order. One easy way of doing this is to use each 
-  mutex&#39;s address to determine the order in which they are locked. A future 
-  Boost.Threads concept may wrap this pattern up in a reusable class.</p>
-<h2><a name="question5"></a>5. Don&#39;t noncopyable <a href="mutex_concept.html">mutex</a> 
-  semantics mean that a class with a mutex member will be noncopyable as well?</h2>
-<p>No, but what it does mean is that the compiler can&#39;t generate a copy constructor 
-  and assignment operator, so they will have to be coded explicitly. This is a 
-  <b>good thing</b>, however, since the compiler generated operations would not 
-  be <a href=
-        "definitions.html#Thread-safe">thread-safe</a>. The following is a simple 
-  example of a class with copyable semantics and internal synchronization through 
-  a mutex member.</p>
-<pre>
-class counter
-{
-public:
-   // Doesn't need synchronization since there can be no references to *this
-   // until after it's constructed!
-   explicit counter(int initial_value)
-      : m_value(initial_value)
-   {
-   }
-   
-   // We only need to synchronize other for the same reason we don't have to
-   // synchronize on construction!
-   counter(const counter&amp; other)
-   {
-      boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock(other.m_mutex);
-      m_value = other.m_value;
-   }
-   
-   // For assignment we need to synchronize both objects!
-   const counter&amp; operator=(const counter&amp; other)
-   {
-      if (this == &amp;other)
-         return *this;
-         
-      boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock1(&amp;m_mutex &lt; &amp;other.m_mutex ? m_mutex : other.m_mutex);
-      boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock2(&amp;m_mutex &gt; &amp;other.m_mutex ? m_mutex : other.m_mutex);
-      m_value = other.m_value;
-      
-      return *this;
-   }
-   
-   int value() const
-   {
-      boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock(m_mutex);
-      return m_value;
-   }
-   int increment()
-   {
-      boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock(m_mutex);
-      return ++m_value;
-   }
-   
-private:
-   mutable boost::mutex m_mutex;
-   int m_value;
-};
-</pre>
-<h2><a name="question6"></a>6. How can you lock a <a href="mutex_concept.html">mutex</a> 
-  member in a const member function, in order to implement the Monitor Pattern?</h2>
-<p>The Monitor Pattern mutex <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00"> [Schmidt 
-  00]</a> should simply be declared as mutable. See the example code above. The 
-  internal state of mutex types could have been made mutable, with all lock calls 
-  made via const functions, but this does a poor job of documenting the actual 
-  semantics (and in fact would be incorrect since the logical state of a locked 
-  mutex clearly differs from the logical state of an unlocked mutex). Declaring 
-  a mutex member as mutable clearly documents the intended semantics.</p>
-<h2><a name="question7"></a>7. Why supply <a href="condition.html">condition variables</a> 
-  rather than <a href="rationale.html#Events">event variables</a>?</h2>
-<p>Condition variables result in user code much less prone to <a href=
-        "definitions.html#Race condition">race conditions</a> than event variables. 
-  See <a href="rationale.html#Events">Rationale</a> for analysis. Also see <a href="bibliography.html#Hoare-74">[Hoare 
-  74]</a> and <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">[Schmidt 00]</a>.</p>
-<h2><a name="question8"></a>8. Why isn&#39;t thread cancellation or termination 
-  provided?</h2>
-<p>There&#39;s a valid need for thread termination, so at some point Boost.Threads 
-  probably will include it, but only after we can find a truly safe (and portable) 
-  mechanism for this concept.</p>
-<h2><a name="question9"></a>9. Is it safe for threads to share automatic storage 
-  duration (stack) objects via pointers or references?</h2>
-<p>Only if you can guarantee that the lifetime of the stack object will not end 
-  while other threads might still access the object. Thus the safest practice 
-  is to avoid sharing stack objects, particularly in designs where threads are 
-  created and destroyed dynamically. Restrict sharing of stack objects to simple 
-  designs with very clear and unchanging function and thread lifetimes. (Suggested 
-  by Darryl Green).</p>
-<h2><a name="question10"></a>10. Why has class semaphore disappeared?</h2>
-<p>Semaphore was removed as too error prone. The same effect can be achieved with 
-  greater safety by the combination of a mutex and a condition variable.</p>

+	  </question>
+	  <answer>
+	    <para>There is no need, because Boost.Threads are superiour! First
+	    thing is that its ctor doesn't take a function but a functor. That
+	    means that you can pass an object with an overloaded operator() and
+	    include additional data as members in that object. Beware though that
+	    this object is copied, use boost::ref to prevent that. Secondly, even
+	    a boost::function&lt;void (void)&gt; can carry parameters, you only have to
+	    use boost::bind() to create it from any function and bind its 
+	    parameters.</para>
+	    <para>That is also why Boost.Threads are superiour, because they
+	    don't require you to pass a type-unsafe void pointer. Rather, you can
+	    use the flexible Boost.Functions to create a thread entry out of
+	    anything that can be called.</para>

-  parallel processing. Modern day operating systems usually provide some support 
-  for this through native thread APIs. Unfortunately, writing portable code that 
-  makes use of parallel processing in C++ is made very difficult by a lack of 
-  a standard interface for these native APIs. Further, these APIs are almost universally 
-  C APIs and fail to take advantage of C++&#39;s strengths, or to address C++&#39;s 
-  issues.</p>
-<p>The <b>Boost.Threads</b> library is an attempt to define a portable interface 
-  for writing parallel processes in C++.</p>
-<h2><a name="goals"></a>Goals</h2>
-<p>The <b>Boost.Threads</b> library has several goals that should help to set 
-  it apart from other solutions. These goals are listed in order of precedence 
-  with full descriptions below.</p>
-<ul>
-  <li> <b>Portability</b> 
-    <p><b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed to be highly portable. The goal is for 
-      the interface to be easily implemented on any platform that supports threads, 
-      and possibly even on platforms without native thread support.</p>
-  </li>
-  <li> <b>Safety</b> 
-    <p><b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed to be as safe as possible. Writing <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe">thread-safe</a> 
-      code is very difficult and successful libraries must strive to insulate 
-      the programmer from dangerous constructs as much as possible. This is accomplished 
-      in several ways:</p>
-    <ul>
-      <li> 
-        <p align="left">C++ language features are used make correct usage easy 
-          (if possible, the default) and error-prone impossible or at least more 
-          difficult. For example, see the <a href="mutex_concept.html">Mutex</a> 
-          and <a href="lock_concept.html">Lock</a> designs, and how note how they 
-          interact.</p>
-      </li>
-      <li> 
-        <p align="left">Certain traditional concurrent programming features are 
-          considered so error-prone that they are not provided at all. For example, 
-          see the <a
-                        href="rationale.html#Events">Events Not Provided</a> rationale.</p>
-      </li>
-      <li> 
-        <p align="left">Dangerous features, or features which may be misused, 
-          are identified as such in the documentation to make users aware of potential 
-          pitfalls.</p>
-      </li>
-    </ul>
-  </li>
-  <li> <b>Flexibility</b> 
-    <p><b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed to be flexible. This goal is often at 
-      odds with <i>safety</i>. When functionality might be compromised by the 
-      desire to keep the interface safe, <b> Boost.Threads</b> has been designed 
-      to provide the functionality, but to make it&#39;s use prohibitive for general 
-      use. In other words, the interfaces have been designed such that it's usually 
-      obvious when something is unsafe, and the documentation is written to explain 
-      why.</p>
-  </li>
-  <li> <b>Efficiency</b> 
-    <p><b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed to be as efficient as possible. When 
-      building a library on top of another library there is always a danger that 
-      the result will be so much slower than the &quot;native&quot; API that programmers 
-      are inclined to ignore the higher level API. <b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed 
-      to minimize the chances of this occurring. The interfaces have been crafted 
-      to allow an implementation the greatest chance of being as efficient as 
-      possible. This goal is often at odds with the goal for <i>safety</i>. Every 
-      effort was made to ensure efficient implementations, but when in conflict 
-      <i>safety</i> has always taken precedence.</p>
-  </li>
-</ul>
-<h2><a name="phases"></a>Iterative Phases</h2>
-<p>Another goal of <b>Boost.Threads</b> was to take a dynamic, iterative approach 
-  in its development. The computing industry is still exploring the concepts of 
-  parallel programming. Most thread libraries supply only simple primitive concepts 
-  for thread synchronization. These concepts are very simple, but they are very 
-  difficult to use safely or to provide formal proofs for constructs built on 
-  top of them. There has been a lot of research in other concepts, such as in 
-  &quot;Communicating Sequential Processes.&quot; <b>Boost.Threads</b> was designed 
-  in iterative steps, providing the building blocks necessary for the next step, 
-  and giving the researcher the tools necessary to explore new concepts in a portable 
-  manner.</p>
-<p>Given the goal of following a dynamic, iterative approach <b> Boost.Threads</b> 
-  shall go through several growth cycles. Each phase in its development shall 
-  be roughly documented here.</p>
-<h3><a name="phase1"></a>Phase 1, Synchronization Primitives</h3>
-<p>Boost is all about providing high quality libraries with implementations for 
-  many platforms. Unfortunately, there&#39;s a big problem faced by developers 
-  wishing to supply such high quality libraries, namely thread-safety. The C++ 
-  standard doesn&#39;t address threads at all, but real world programs often make 
-  use of native threading support. A portable library that doesn&#39;t address 
-  the issue of thread-safety is there for not much help to a programmer who wants 
-  to use the library in his multithreaded application. So there&#39;s a very great 
-  need for portable primitives that will allow the library developer to create 
-  <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe"> thread-safe</a> implementations. This 
-  need far out weighs the need for portable methods to create and manage threads.</p>
-<p>Because of this need, the first phase of <b>Boost.Threads</b> focuses solely 
-  on providing portable primitive concepts for thread synchronization. Types provided 
-  in this phase include the <a href="mutex.html"> mutex/try_mutex/timed_mutex</a>, 
-  <a href="recursive_mutex.html"> recursive_mutex/recursive_try_mutex/recursive_timed_mutex</a> 
-  and <a href="exceptions.html#class-lock_error">lock_error</a>. These are considered 
-  the &quot;core&quot; synchronization primitives, though there are others that 
-  will be added in later phases.</p>
-<h3><a name="phase2"></a>Phase 2, Thread Management and Thread Specific Storage</h3>
-<p>This phase addresses the creation and management of threads and provides a 
-  mechanism for thread specific storage (data associated with a thread instance). 
-  Thread management is a tricky issue in C++, so this phase addresses only the 
-  basic needs of multithreaded program. Later phases are likely to add additional 
-  functionality in this area. This phase of <b>Boost.Threads</b> adds the <a href="thread.html">thread</a> 
-  and <a href="tss.html#class-thread_specific_ptr">thread_specific_ptr</a> types. 
-  With these additions the <b>Boost.Threads</b> library can be considered minimal 
-  but complete.</p>
-<h3><a name="next-phase"></a>The Next Phase</h3>
-<p>The next phase will address more advanced synchronization concepts, such as 
-  read/write mutexes and barriers.</p>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>A lock object provides a safe means for locking and unlocking a mutex object 
-  (an object whose type is a model of <a href="mutex_concept.html">Mutex</a> or 
-  one of its refinements). In other words they are an implementation of the <i>Scoped 
-  Locking</i> <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">[Schmidt 00]</a> pattern. 
-  The <a href="#ScopedLock-concept">ScopedLock</a> concept, with <a href="#ScopedTryLock-concept">ScopedTryLock</a> 
-  and <a href="#ScopedTimedLock-concept">ScopedTimedLock</a> refinements, formalize 
-  the requirements.</p>
-<p>Lock objects are constructed with a reference to a mutex object and typically 
-  acquire ownership of the mutex object by setting its state to locked. They also 
-  ensure ownership is relinquished in the destructor. Lock objects also expose 
-  functions to query the lock status and to manually lock and unlock the mutex 
-  object.</p>
-<p>Lock objects are meant to be short lived, expected to be used at block scope 
-  only. The lock objects are not <a href="definitions.html#definition-thread-safe">thread-safe</a>. 
-  Lock objects must maintain state to indicate whether or not they&#39;ve been 
-  locked and this state is not protected by any synchronization concepts. For 
-  this reason a lock object should never be shared between multiple threads.</p>
-<h2><a name="concept-requirements"></a>Concept Requirements</h2>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>A mutex (short for mutual-exclusion) object is used to serializes access to 
-  a resource shared between multiple threads. The <a href="#Mutex">Mutex</a> concept, 
-  with <a href="#TryMutex">TryMutex</a> and <a href="#TimedMutex">TimedMutex</a> 
-  refinements, formalize the requirements. A model that implements Mutex and its 
-  refinements has two states: <b>locked</b> and <b>unlocked</b>. Before using 
-  a shared resource, a thread locks a <b>Boost.Threads</b> mutex object (an object 
-  whose type is a model of <a href="#Mutex-concept">Mutex</a> or one of it's 
-  refinements), insuring <a href="definitions.html#thread-safe">thread-safe</a> 
-  access to the shared resource. When use of the shared resource is complete, 
-  the thread unlocks the mutex object, allowing another thread to acquire the 
-  lock and use the shared resource.</p>
-<p>Traditional C thread APIs, like POSIX threads or the Windows thread APIs, expose 
-  functions to lock and unlock a mutex object. This is dangerous since it&#39;s 
-  easy to forget to unlock a locked mutex. When the flow of control is complex, 
-  with multiple return points, the likelihood of forgetting to unlock a mutex 
-  object would become even greater. When exceptions are thrown, it becomes nearly 
-  impossible to ensure that the mutex object is unlocked properly when using these 
-  traditional API&#39;s. The result is <a href="definitions.html#deadlock">deadlock</a>.</p>
-<p>Many C++ threading libraries use a pattern known as <i>Scoped Locking</i> <a href="bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">[Schmidt 
-  00]</a> to free the programmer from the need to explicitly lock and unlock mutex 
-  objects. With this pattern, a <a href="lock_concept.html">Lock</a> concept is 
-  employed where the lock object&#39;s constructor locks the associated mutex 
-  object and the destructor automatically does the unlocking. The <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  library takes this pattern to the extreme in that Lock concepts are the only 
-  way to lock and unlock a mutex object: lock and unlock functions are not exposed 
-  by any <b>Boost.Threads</b> mutex objects. This helps to ensure safe usage patterns, 
-  especially when code throws exceptions.</p>
-<h2><a name="locking-strategies"></a>Locking Strategies</h2>
-<p>Every mutex object follows one of several locking strategies. These strategies 
-  define the semantics for the locking operation when the calling thread already 
-  owns a lock on the mutex object.</p>
-<h3><a name="locking-strategy-recursive"></a>Recursive</h3>
-<p>With a recursive locking strategy when a thread attempts to acquire a lock 
-  on the mutex object for which it already owns a lock, the operation is successful. 
-  Note the distinction between a thread, which may have multiple locks outstanding 
-  on a recursive mutex object, and a lock object, which even for a recursive mutex 
-  object cannot have any of its lock functions called multiple times without first 
-  calling unlock.</p>
-<p>Internally a lock count is maintained and the owning thread must unlock the 
-  mutex model the same number of times that it&#39;s locked it before the mutex 
-  object&#39;s state returns to unlocked. Since mutex objects in <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  expose locking functionality only through lock concepts, a thread will always 
-  unlock a mutex object the same number of times that it locked it. This helps 
-  to eliminate a whole set of errors typically found in traditional C style thread 
-  APIs.</p>
-<p>Classes <a href="recursive_mutex.html#class-recursive_mutex">recursive_mutex</a>, 
-  <a href="recursive_mutex.html#class-recursive_try_mutex">recursive_try_mutex</a> 
-  and <a href="recursive_mutex.html#class-recursive_timed_mutex">recursive_timed_mutex</a> 
-  use this locking strategy.</p>
-<h3><a name="locking-strategy-checked"></a>Checked</h3>
-<p>With a checked locking strategy when a thread attempts to acquire a lock on 
-  the mutex object for which the thread already owns a lock, the operation will 
-  fail with some sort of error indication. Further, attempts by a thread to unlock 
-  a mutex object that was not locked by the thread will also return some sort 
-  of error indication. In <b>Boost.Threads</b>, an exception of type <a href="exceptions.html#class-lock_error"> 
-  lock_error</a> would be thrown in these cases.</p>
-<p><b>Boost.Threads</b> does not currently provide any mutex objects that use 
-  this strategy.</p>
-<h3><a name="locking-strategy-unchecked"></a>Unchecked</h3>
-<p>With an unchecked locking strategy when a thread attempts to acquire a lock 
-  on a mutex object for which the thread already owns a lock the operation will 
-  <a href="definitions.html#definition-deadlock">deadlock</a>. In general this 
-  locking strategy is less safe than a checked or recursive strategy, but it&#39;s 
-  also a faster strategy and so is employed by many libraries.</p>
-<p><b>Boost.Threads</b> does not currently provide any mutex objects that use 
-  this strategy.</p>
-<h3><a name="locking-strategy-unspecified"></a>Unspecified</h3>
-<p>With an unspecified locking strategy, when a thread attempts to acquire a lock 
-  on a mutex object for which the thread already owns a lock the operation results 
-  in <b>undefined behavior</b>.</p>
-<p>In general a mutex object with an unspecified locking strategy is unsafe, and 
-  it requires programmer discipline to use the mutex object properly. However, 
-  this strategy allows an implementation to be as fast as possible with no restrictions 
-  on its implementation. This is especially true for portable implementations 
-  that wrap the native threading support of a platform. For this reason, the classes 
-  <a href="mutex.html#class-mutex">mutex</a>, <a href="mutex.html#class-try_mutex">try_mutex</a> 
-  and <a href="mutex.html#class-timed_mutex">timed_mutex</a> use this locking 
-  strategy despite the lack of safety.</p>
-<h2><a name="scheduling-policies"></a>Scheduling Policies</h2>
-<p>Every mutex object follows one of several scheduling policies. These policies 
-  define the semantics when the mutex object is unlocked and there is more than 
-  one thread waiting to acquire a lock. In other words, the policy defines which 
-  waiting thread shall acquire the lock.</p>
-<h3><a name="scheduling-policy-FIFO"></a>FIFO</h3>
-<p>With a FIFO scheduling policy, threads waiting for the lock will acquire it 
-  in a first come first serve order (or First In First Out). This can help prevent 
-  a high priority thread from starving lower priority threads that are also waiting 
-  on the mutex object's lock.</p>
-<h3><a name="scheduling-policy-priority-driven"></a>Priority Driven</h3>
-<p>With a Priority Driven scheduling policy, the thread with the highest priority 
-  acquires the lock. Note that this means that low-priority threads may never 
-  acquire the lock if the mutex object has high contention and there is always 
-  at least one high-priority thread waiting. This is known as thread starvation. 
-  When multiple threads of the same priority are waiting on the mutex object's 
-  lock one of the other scheduling priorities will determine which thread shall 
-  acquire the lock.</p>
-<h3><a name="scheduling-policy-unspecified"></a>Unspecified</h3>
-<p>The mutex object does not specify a scheduling policy. In order to ensure portability, 
-  all <b>Boost.Threads</b> mutex models use an unspecified scheduling policy.</p>
-<h2><a name="concept-requirements"></a>Concept Requirements</h2>
-<h3><a name="Mutex-concept"></a>Mutex Concept</h3>

-  only be determined by an object meeting the <a href="lock_concept.html#ScopedLock">ScopedLock</a>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>Boost.Threads allows C++ programs to execute as multiple, asynchronous, independent, 
-  threads-of-execution. Each thread has its own machine state including program 
-  instruction counter and registers. Programs which execute as multiple threads 
-  are called multithreaded programs to distinguish them from traditional single-threaded 
-  programs. <a href="definitions.html">Definitions</a> gives a more complete description 
-  of the multithreading execution environment.</p>
-<p>Multithreading provides several advantages:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>Programs which would otherwise block waiting for some external event can 
-    continue to respond if the blocking operation is placed in a separate thread. 
-    Multithreading is usually an absolute requirement for these programs.</li>
-</ul>
-<ul>
-  <li>Well-designed multithreaded programs may execute faster than single-threaded 
-    programs, particularly on multiprocessor hardware. Note, however, that poorly-designed 
-    multithreaded programs are often slower that single-threaded programs.</li>
-</ul>
-<ul>
-  <li>Some program designs may be easier to formulate using a multithreaded approach. 
-    After all, the real world is asynchronous!</li>
-</ul>
-<h2><a name="dangers"></a>Dangers</h2>
-<p>Beyond the errors which can occur in single-threaded programs, multithreaded 
-  programs are subject to additional errors:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li><a href="definitions.html#definition-race-condition">Race conditions</a>.</li>
-  <li><a href="definitions.html#definition-deadlock">Deadlock</a> (sometimes called 
-    &quot;deadly embrace&quot;)</li>
-  <li><a href="definitions.html#definition-priority-failure">Priority failures</a> 
-    (priority inversion, infinite overtaking, starvation, etc.)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Every multithreaded program must be designed carefully to avoid race conditions, 
-  priority failures and deadlock. These aren&#39;t rare or exotic failures - they 
-  are virtually guaranteed to occur unless multithreaded code is designed to avoid 
-  them. Priority failures are somewhat less common, but are nonetheless serious.</p>
-<p>The <a href="introduction.html">Boost.Threads design</a> attempts to minimize 
-  these errors, but they will still occur unless the programmer proactively designs 
-  to avoid them.</p>
-<h3><a name="testing-debugging"></a>Testing and debugging considerations</h3>
-<p>Multithreaded programs are non-deterministic. In other words, the same program 
-  with the same input data may follow different execution paths each time it is 
-  invoked. That can make testing and debugging a nightmare:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>Failures are often not repeatable.</li>
-  <li>Probe effect causes debuggers to produce very different results from non-debug 
-    uses.</li>
-  <li>Debuggers require special support to show thread state.</li>
-  <li>Tests on a single processor system may give no indication of serious errors 
-    which would appear on multiprocessor systems, and visa versa. Thus test cases 
-    should include a varying number of processors.</li>
-  <li>For programs which create a varying number of threads according to workload, 
-    tests which don&#39;t span the full range of possibilities may miss serious 
-    errors.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3><a name="head-start"></a>Getting a head start</h3>
-<p>Although it might appear that multithreaded programs are inherently unreliable, 
-  many reliable multithreaded programs do exist. Multithreading techniques are 
-  known which lead to reliable programs.</p>
-<p>Design patterns for reliable multithreaded programs, including the important 
-  <i>monitor</i> pattern, are presented in <cite> Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture 
-  Volume 2 - Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects</cite> [<a href=
-        "bibliography.html#Schmidt-00">Schmidt 00</a>]. Many important multithreading 
-  programming considerations (independent of threading library) are discussed 
-  in <cite>Programming with POSIX Threads</cite> [<a href="bibliography.html#Butenhof-97">Butenhof 
-  97</a>].</p>
-<p>Doing some reading before attempting multithreaded designs will give you a 
-  head start toward reliable multithreaded programs.</p>
-<h2><a name="library"></a>C++ Standard Library usage in multithreaded programs</h2>
-<h3><a name="runtime-libraries"></a>Runtime libraries</h3>
-<p><b>Warning:</b> Multithreaded programs such as those using <b> Boost.Threads</b> 
-  must link to <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe"> thread-safe</a> versions 
-  of all runtime libraries used by the program, including the runtime library 
-  for the C++ Standard Library. Otherwise <a href="definitions.html#Race condition">race 
-  conditions</a> will occur when multiple threads simultaneously execute runtime 
-  library functions for <i>new</i>, <i>delete</i>, or other language features 
-  which imply shared state.</p>
-<h3><a name="non-thread-safe-functions"></a>Potentially non-thread-safe functions</h3>
-<p>Certain C++ Standard Library functions inherited from C are particular problems 
-  because they hold internal state between calls:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>rand</li>
-  <li>strtok</li>
-  <li>asctime</li>
-  <li>ctime</li>
-  <li>gmtime</li>
-  <li>localtime</li>
-</ul>
-<p>It is possible to write thread-safe implementations of these by using <a href="tss.html#class-thread_specific_ptr">thread-specific 
-  storage</a>, and several C++ compiler vendors do just that. The technique is 
-  well-know and is explained in [<a href=
-        "bibliography.html#Butenhof-97">Buttenhof 97</a>].</p>
-<p>But at least one vendor (HP-UX) does not provide thread-safe implementations 
-  of the above functions in their otherwise thread-safe runtime library. Instead 
-  they provide replacement functions with different names and arguments.</p>
-<p><b>Recommendation:</b> For the most portable, yet thread-safe code, use Boost 
-  replacements for the problem functions. See the <a href=
-        "../../random/index.html">Boost Random Number Library</a> and <a href=
-        "../../tokenizer/index.htm">Boost Tokenizer Library</a>.</p>
-<h2><a name="common-gaurantees"></a>Common guarantees for all Boost.Threads components</h2>
-<h3><a name="exceptions"></a>Exceptions</h3>
-<p><b>Boost.Threads</b> destructors never throw exceptions. Unless otherwise specified, 
-  other <b>Boost.Threads</b> functions that do not have an exception-specification 
-  may throw implementation-defined exceptions.</p>
-<p>In particular, <b>Boost.Threads</b> reports failure to allocate storage by 
-  throwing an exception of type std::bad_alloc, or a class derived from std::bad_alloc, 
-  failure to obtain thread resources other than memory by throwing an exception 
-  of type <a href="exceptions.html#class-thread_resource_error">boost::thread_resource_error</a>, 
-  and certain lock related failures by throwing an exception of type <a href="exceptions.html#class-lock_error">boost::lock_error</a></p>
-<p><b>Rationale:</b> Follows the C++ Standard Library practice of allowing all 
-  functions except destructors or other specified functions to throw exceptions 
-  on errors.</p>
-<h3><a name="non-copyable"></a>NonCopyable requirement</h3>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>This page explains the rationale behind various design decisions in the <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  library. Having the rationale documented here should explain how we arrived 
-  at the current design as well as prevent future rehashing of discussions and 
-  thought processes that have already occurred. It can also give users a lot of 
-  insight into the design process required for this library.</p>
-<h2><a name="library"></a>Rationale for the Creation of <b>Boost.Threads</b></h2>
-<p>Processes often have a degree of &quot;potential parallelism&quot; and it can 
-  often be more intuitive to design systems with this in mind. Further, these 
-  parallel processes can result in more responsive programs. The benefits for 
-  multithreaded programming are quite well known to most modern programmers, yet 
-  the C++ language doesn&#39;t directly support this concept.</p>
-<p>Many platforms support multithreaded programming despite the fact that the 
-  language doesn&#39;t support it. They do this through external libraries, which 
-  are, unfortunately, platform specific. POSIX has tried to address this problem 
-  through the standardization of a &quot;pthread&quot; library. However, this 
-  is a standard only on POSIX platforms, so its portability is limited.</p>
-<p>Another problem with POSIX and other platform specific thread libraries is 
-  that they are almost universally C based libraries. This leaves several C++ 
-  specific issues unresolved, such as what happens when an exception is thrown 
-  in a thread. Further, there are some C++ concepts, such as destructors, that 
-  can make usage much easier than what&#39;s available in a C library.</p>
-<p>What&#39;s truly needed is C++ language support for threads. However, the C++ 
-  standards committee needs existing practice or a good proposal as a starting 
-  point for adding this to the standard.</p>
-<p>The <b>Boost.Threads</b> library was developed to provide a C++ developer with 
-  a portable interface for writing multithreaded programs on numerous platforms. 
-  There&#39;s a hope that the library can be the basis for a more detailed proposal 
-  for the C++ standards committee to consider for inclusion in the next C++ standard.</p>
-<h2><a name="primitives"></a>Rationale for the Low Level Primitives Supported 
-  in <b>Boost.Threads</b></h2>
-<p>The <b>Boost.Threads</b> library supplies a set of low level primitives for 
-  writing multithreaded programs, such as mutexes and condition variables. In 
-  fact, the first release of <b>Boost.Threads</b> supports only these low level 
-  primitives. However, computer science research has shown that use of these primitives 
-  is difficult since it's difficult to mathematically prove that a usage pattern 
-  is correct, meaning it doesn&#39;t result in race conditions or deadlocks. There 
-  are several algebras (such as CSP, CCS and Join calculus) that have been developed 
-  to help write provably correct parallel processes. In order to prove the correctness 
-  these processes must be coded using higher level abstractions. So why does <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  support the lower level concepts?</p>
-<p>The reason is simple: the higher level concepts need to be implemented using 
-  at least some of the lower level concepts. So having portable lower level concepts 
-  makes it easier to develop the higher level concepts and will allow researchers 
-  to experiment with various techniques.</p>
-<p>Beyond this theoretical application of higher level concepts, however, the 
-  fact remains that many multithreaded programs are written using only the lower 
-  level concepts, so they are useful in and of themselves, even if it&#39;s hard 
-  to prove that their usage is correct. Since many users will be familiar with 
-  these lower level concepts but be unfamiliar with any of the higher level concepts 
-  there&#39;s also an argument for accessibility.</p>
-<h2><a name="lock_objects"></a>Rationale for the Lock Design</h2>
-<p>Programmers who are used to multithreaded programming issues will quickly note 
-  that the Boost.Thread&#39;s design for mutex lock concepts is not <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe">thread-safe</a> 
-  (this is clearly documented as well). At first this may seem like a serious 
-  design flaw. Why have a multithreading primitive that&#39;s not thread-safe 
-  itself?</p>
-<p>A lock object is not a synchronization primitive. A lock object&#39;s sole 
-  responsibility is to ensure that a mutex is both locked and unlocked in a manner 
-  that won&#39;t result in the common error of locking a mutex and then forgetting 
-  to unlock it. This means that instances of a lock object are only going to be 
-  created, at least in theory, within block scope and won&#39;t be shared between 
-  threads. Only the mutex objects will be created outside of block scope and/or 
-  shared between threads. Though it&#39;s possible to create a lock object outside 
-  of block scope and to share it between threads to do so would not be a typical 
-  usage (in fact, to do so would likely be an error). Nor are there any cases 
-  when such usage would be required.</p>
-<p>Lock objects must maintain some state information. In order to allow a program 
-  to determine if a try_lock or timed_lock was successful the lock object must 
-  retain state indicating the success or failure of the call made in its constructor. 
-  If a lock object were to have such state and remain thread-safe it would need 
-  to synchronize access to the state information which would result in roughly 
-  doubling the time of most operations. Worse, since checking the state can occur 
-  only by a call after construction we&#39;d have a race condition if the lock 
-  object were shared between threads.</p>
-<p>So, to avoid the overhead of synchronizing access to the state information 
-  and to avoid the race condition the <b>Boost.Threads</b> library simply does 
-  nothing to make lock objects thread-safe. Instead, sharing a lock object between 
-  threads results in undefined behavior. Since the only proper usage of lock objects 
-  is within block scope this isn&#39;t a problem, and so long as the lock object 
-  is properly used there&#39;s no danger of any multithreading issues.</p>
-<h2><a name="non-copyable"></a>Rationale for NonCopyable Thread Type</h2>
-<p>Programmers who are used to C libraries for multithreaded programming are likely 
-  to wonder why <b>Boost.Threads</b> uses a noncopyable design for <a href="thread.html">boost::thread</a>. 
-  After all, the C thread types are copyable, and you often have a need for copying 
-  them within user code. However, careful comparison of C designs to C++ designs 
-  shows a flaw in this logic.</p>
-<p>All C types are copyable. It is, in fact, not possible to make a noncopyable 
-  type in C. For this reason types that represent system resources in C are often 
-  designed to behave very similarly to a pointer to dynamic memory. There&#39;s 
-  an API for acquiring the resource and an API for releasing the resources. For 
-  memory we have pointers as the type and alloc/free for the acquisition and release 
-  APIs. For files we have FILE* as the type and fopen/fclose for the acquisition 
-  and release APIs. You can freely copy instances of the types but must manually 
-  manage the lifetime of the actual resource through the acquisition and release 
-  APIs.</p>
-<p>C++ designs recognize that the acquisition and release APIs are error prone 
-  and try to eliminate possible errors by acquiring the resource in the constructor 
-  and releasing it in the destructor. The best example of such a design is the 
-  std::iostream set of classes which can represent the same resource as the FILE* 
-  type in C. A file is opened in the std::fstream&#39;s constructor and closed 
-  in its destructor. However, if an iostream were copyable it could lead to a 
-  file being closed twice, an obvious error, so the std::iostream types are noncopyable 
-  by design. This is the same design used by boost::thread, which is a simple 
-  and easy to understand design that&#39;s consistent with other C++ standard 
-  types.</p>
-<p>During the design of boost::thread it was pointed out that it would be possible 
-  to allow it to be a copyable type if some form of &quot;reference management&quot; 
-  were used, such as ref-counting or ref-lists, and many argued for a boost::thread_ref 
-  design instead. The reasoning was that copying &quot;thread&quot; objects was 
-  a typical need in the C libraries, and so presumably would be in the C++ libraries 
-  as well. It was also thought that implementations could provide more efficient 
-  reference management than wrappers (such as boost::shared_ptr) around a noncopyable 
-  thread concept. Analysis of whether or not these arguments would hold true doesn&#39;t 
-  appear to bear them out. To illustrate the analysis we&#39;ll first provide 
-  pseudo-code illustrating the six typical usage patterns of a thread object.</p>
-<h3>1. Simple creation of a thread.</h3>
-<pre>
-void foo()
-{
-   create_thread(&amp;bar);
-}
-</pre>
-<h3>2. Creation of a thread that's later joined.</h3>
-<pre>
-Void foo()
-{
-   thread = create_thread(&amp;bar);
-   join(thread);
-}
-</pre>
-<h3>3. Simple creation of several threads in a loop.</h3>
-<pre>
-Void foo()
-{
-   for (int i=0; i&lt;NUM_THREADS; ++i)
-      create_thread(&amp;bar);
-}
-</pre>
-<h3>4. Creation of several threads in a loop which are later joined.</h3>
-<pre>
-Void foo()
-{
-   for (int i=0; i&lt;NUM_THREADS; ++i)
-      threads[i] = create_thread(&amp;bar);
-   for (int i=0; i&lt;NUM_THREADS; ++i)
-      threads[i].join();
-}
-</pre>
-<h3>5. Creation of a thread whose ownership is passed to another object/method.</h3>
-<pre>
-Void foo()
-{
-   thread = create_thread(&amp;bar);
-   manager.owns(thread);
-}
-</pre>
-<h3>6. Creation of a thread whose ownership is shared between multiple objects.</h3>
-<pre>
-Void foo()
-{
-   thread = create_thread(&amp;bar);
-   manager1.add(thread);
-   manager2.add(thread);
-}
-</pre>
-<p>Of these usage patterns there&#39;s only one that requires reference management 
-  (number 6). Hopefully it&#39;s fairly obvious that this usage pattern simply 
-  won&#39;t occur as often as the other usage patterns. So there really isn&#39;t 
-  a &quot;typical need&quot; for a thread concept, though there is some need.</p>
-<p>Since the need isn&#39;t typical we must use different criteria for deciding 
-  on either a thread_ref or thread design. Possible criteria include ease of use 
-  and performance. So let&#39;s analyze both of these carefully.</p>
-<p>With ease of use we can look at existing experience. The standard C++ objects 
-  that represent a system resource, such as std::iostream, are noncopyable, so 
-  we know that C++ programmers must at least be experienced with this design. 
-  Most C++ developers are also used to smart pointers such as boost::shared_ptr, 
-  so we know they can at least adapt to a thread_ref concept with little effort. 
-  So existing experience isn&#39;t going to lead us to a choice.</p>
-<p>The other thing we can look at is how difficult it is to use both types for 
-  the six usage patterns above. If we find it overly difficult to use a concept 
-  for any of the usage patterns there would be a good argument for choosing the 
-  other design. So we&#39;ll code all six usage patterns using both designs.</p>

-<p>This shows the usage patterns being nearly identical in complexity for both 
-  designs. The only actual added complexity occurs because of the use of operator 
-  new in (4), (5) and (6) and the use of std::auto_ptr and boost::shared_ptr in 
-  (4) and (6) respectively. However, that&#39;s not really much added complexity, 
-  and C++ programmers are used to using these idioms any way. Some may dislike 
-  the presence of operator new in user code, but this can be eliminated by proper 
-  design of higher level concepts, such as the boost::thread_group class that 
-  simplifies example (4) down to:</p>
-<pre>
-void foo()
-{
-   thread_group threads;
-   for (int i=0; i&lt;NUM_THREADS; ++i)
-      threads.create_thread(&amp;bar);
-   threads.join_all();
-}
-</pre>
-<p>So ease of use is really a wash and not much help in picking a design.</p>
-<p>So what about performance? If you look at the above code examples we can analyze 
-  the theoretical impact to performance that both designs have. For (1) we can 
-  see that platforms that don&#39;t have a ref-counted native thread type (POSIX, 
-  for instance) will be impacted by a thread_ref design. Even if the native thread 
-  type is ref-counted there may be an impact if more state information has to 
-  be maintained for concepts foreign to the native API, such as clean up stacks 
-  for Win32 implementations. For (2) the performance impact will be identical 
-  to (1). The same for (3). For (4) things get a little more interesting and we 
-  find that theoretically at least the thread_ref may perform faster since the 
-  thread design requires dynamic memory allocation/deallocation. However, in practice 
-  there may be dynamic allocation for the thread_ref design as well, it will just 
-  be hidden from the user. As long as the implementation has to do dynamic allocations 
-  the thread_ref loses again because of the reference management. For (5) we see 
-  the same impact as we do for (4). For (6) we still have a possible impact to 
-  the thread design because of dynamic allocation but thread_ref no longer suffers 
-  because of its reference management, and in fact, theoretically at least, the 
-  thread_ref may do a better job of managing the references. All of this indicates 
-  that thread wins for (1), (2) and (3), with (4) and (5) the winner depends on 
-  the implementation and the platform but the thread design probably has a better 
-  chance, and with (6) it will again depend on the implementation and platform 
-  but this time we favor thread_ref slightly. Given all of this it&#39;s a narrow 
-  margin, but the thread design prevails.</p>
-<p>Given this analysis, and the fact that noncopyable objects for system resources 
-  are the normal designs that C++ programmers are used to dealing with, the <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  library has gone with a noncopyable design.</p>
-<h2><a name="events"></a>Rationale for not providing <i>Event Variables</i></h2>
-<p><i>Event variables</i> are simply far too error-prone. <a href=
-        "condition.html">Condition variables</a> are a much safer alternative.</p>
-<p>[Note that Graphical User Interface <i>events</i> are a different concept, 
-  and are not what is being discussed here.]</p>
-<p>Event variables were one of the first synchronization primitives. They are 
-  still used today, for example, in the native Windows multithreading API.</p>
-<p>Yet both respected computer science researchers and experienced multithreading 
-  practitioners believe event variables are so inherently error-prone that they 
-  should never be used, and thus should not be part of a multithreading library.</p>
-<p>Per Brinch Hansen <a href="bibliography.html#Brinch-Hansen-73"> [Brinch Hansen 
-  73]</a> analyzed event variables in some detail, pointing out [emphasis his] 
-  that &quot;<i>event operations force the programmer to be aware of the relative 
-  speeds of the sending and receiving processes</i>&quot;. His summary:</p>
-<blockquote> 
-  <p>We must therefore conclude that event variables of the previous type are 
-    impractical for system design. <i>The effect of an interaction between two 
-    processes must be independent of the speed at which it is carried out.</i></p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>Experienced programmers using the Windows platform today report that event 
-  variables are a continuing source of errors, even after previous bad experiences 
-  caused them to be very careful in their use of event variables. Overt problems 
-  can be avoided, for example, by teaming the event variable with a mutex, but 
-  that may just convert a <a href=
-        "definitions.html#Race condition">race condition</a> into another problem, 
-  such as excessive resource use. One of the most distressing aspects of the experience 
-  reports is the claim that many defects are latent. That is, the programs appear 
-  to work correctly, but contain hidden timing dependencies which will cause them 
-  to fail when environmental factors or usage patterns change, altering relative 
-  thread timings.</p>
-<p>The decision to exclude event variables from <b>Boost.Threads</b> has been 
-  surprising to some Windows programmers. They have written programs which work 
-  using event variables, and wonder what the problem is. It seems similar to the 
-  &quot;goto considered harmful&quot; controversy of 30 years ago. It isn&#39;t 
-  that events, like gotos, can&#39;t be made to work, but rather that virtually 
-  all programs using alternatives will be easier to write, debug, read, maintain, 
-  and be less likely to contain latent defects.</p>

+  <title>Rationale</title>
+  <para>This page explains the rationale behind various design decisions in the
+  &Boost.Thread; library. Having the rationale documented here should explain
+  how we arrived at the current design as well as prevent future rehashing of
+  discussions and thought processes that have already occurred. It can also give
+  users a lot of insight into the design process required for this
+  library.</para>
+  <section id="thread.rationale.Boost.Thread">
+    <title>Rationale for the Creation of &Boost.Thread;</title>
+    <para>Processes often have a degree of "potential parallelism" and it can
+	often be more intuitive to design systems with this in mind. Further, these
+	parallel processes can result in more responsive programs. The benefits for
+	multithreaded programming are quite well known to most modern programmers,
+	yet the C++ language doesn't directly support this concept.</para>
+    <para>Many platforms support multithreaded programming despite the fact that
+	the language doesn't support it. They do this through external libraries,
+	which are, unfortunately, platform specific. POSIX has tried to address this
+	problem through the standardization of a "pthread" library. However, this is
+	a standard only on POSIX platforms, so its portability is limited.</para>
+    <para>Another problem with POSIX and other platform specific thread
+	libraries is that they are almost universally C based libraries. This leaves
+	several C++ specific issues unresolved, such as what happens when an
+	exception is thrown in a thread. Further, there are some C++ concepts, such
+	as destructors, that can make usage much easier than what's available in a C
+	library.</para>
+    <para>What's truly needed is C++ language support for threads. However, the
+	C++ standards committee needs existing practice or a good proposal as a
+	starting point for adding this to the standard.</para>
+    <para>The &Boost.Thread; library was developed to provide a C++ developer
+	with a portable interface for writing multithreaded programs on numerous
+	platforms. There's a hope that the library can be the basis for a more
+	detailed proposal for the C++ standards committee to consider for inclusion
+	in the next C++ standard.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section id="thread.rationale.primitives">
+    <title>Rationale for the Low Level Primitives Supported in &Boost.Thread;</title>
+    <para>The &Boost.Thread; library supplies a set of low level primitives for
+	writing multithreaded programs, such as mutexes and condition variables. In
+	fact, the first release of &Boost.Thread; supports only these low level
+	primitives. However, computer science research has shown that use of these
+	primitives is difficult since it's difficult to mathematically prove that a
+	usage pattern is correct, meaning it doesn't result in race conditions or
+	deadlocks. There are several algebras (such as CSP, CCS and Join calculus)
+	that have been developed to help write provably correct parallel
+	processes. In order to prove the correctness these processes must be coded
+	using higher level abstractions. So why does &Boost.Thread; support the
+	lower level concepts?</para>
+    <para>The reason is simple: the higher level concepts need to be implemented
+	using at least some of the lower level concepts. So having portable lower
+	level concepts makes it easier to develop the higher level concepts and will
+	allow researchers to experiment with various techniques.</para>
+    <para>Beyond this theoretical application of higher level concepts, however,
+	the fact remains that many multithreaded programs are written using only the
+	lower level concepts, so they are useful in and of themselves, even if it's
+	hard to prove that their usage is correct. Since many users will be familiar
+	with these lower level concepts but unfamiliar with any of the higher
+	level concepts, supporting the lower level concepts provides
+	greater accessibility.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section id="thread.rationale.locks">
+    <title>Rationale for the Lock Design</title>
+    <para>Programmers who are used to multithreaded programming issues will
+	quickly note that the &Boost.Thread; design for mutex lock concepts is not
+	<link linkend="thread.glossary.thread-safe">thread-safe</link> (this is
+	clearly documented as well). At first this may seem like a serious design
+	flaw. Why have a multithreading primitive that's not thread-safe
+	itself?</para>
+    <para>A lock object is not a synchronization primitive. A lock object's sole
+	responsibility is to ensure that a mutex is both locked and unlocked in a
+	manner that won't result in the common error of locking a mutex and then
+	forgetting to unlock it. This means that instances of a lock object are only
+	going to be created, at least in theory, within block scope and won't be
+	shared between threads. Only the mutex objects will be created outside of
+	block scope and/or shared between threads. Though it's possible to create a
+	lock object outside of block scope and to share it between threads, to do so
+	would not be a typical usage (in fact, to do so would likely be an
+	error). Nor are there any cases when such usage would be required.</para>
+    <para>Lock objects must maintain some state information. In order to allow a
+	program to determine if a try_lock or timed_lock was successful the lock
+	object must retain state indicating the success or failure of the call made
+	in its constructor. If a lock object were to have such state and remain
+	thread-safe it would need to synchronize access to the state information
+	which would result in roughly doubling the time of most operations. Worse,
+	since checking the state can occur only by a call after construction, we'd
+	have a race condition if the lock object were shared between threads.</para>
+    <para>So, to avoid the overhead of synchronizing access to the state
+	information and to avoid the race condition, the &Boost.Thread; library
+	simply does nothing to make lock objects thread-safe. Instead, sharing a
+	lock object between threads results in undefined behavior. Since the only
+	proper usage of lock objects is within block scope this isn't a problem, and
+	so long as the lock object is properly used there's no danger of any
+	multithreading issues.</para>
+  </section>
+  <section id="thread.rationale.non-copyable">
+    <title>Rationale for NonCopyable Thread Type</title>
+    <para>Programmers who are used to C libraries for multithreaded programming
+	are likely to wonder why &Boost.Thread; uses a noncopyable design for
+	<classname>boost::thread</classname>. After all, the C thread types are
+	copyable, and you often have a need for copying them within user
+	code. However, careful comparison of C designs to C++ designs shows a flaw
+	in this logic.</para>
+    <para>All C types are copyable. It is, in fact, not possible to make a
+	noncopyable type in C. For this reason types that represent system resources
+	in C are often designed to behave very similarly to a pointer to dynamic
+	memory. There's an API for acquiring the resource and an API for releasing
+	the resource. For memory we have pointers as the type and alloc/free for
+	the acquisition and release APIs. For files we have FILE* as the type and
+	fopen/fclose for the acquisition and release APIs. You can freely copy
+	instances of the types but must manually manage the lifetime of the actual
+	resource through the acquisition and release APIs.</para>
+    <para>C++ designs recognize that the acquisition and release APIs are error
+	prone and try to eliminate possible errors by acquiring the resource in the
+	constructor and releasing it in the destructor. The best example of such a
+	design is the std::iostream set of classes which can represent the same
+	resource as the FILE* type in C. A file is opened in the std::fstream's
+	constructor and closed in its destructor. However, if an iostream were
+	copyable it could lead to a file being closed twice, an obvious error, so
+	the std::iostream types are noncopyable by design. This is the same design
+	used by boost::thread, which is a simple and easy to understand design
+	that's consistent with other C++ standard types.</para>
+    <para>During the design of boost::thread it was pointed out that it would be
+	possible to allow it to be a copyable type if some form of "reference
+	management" were used, such as ref-counting or ref-lists, and many argued
+	for a boost::thread_ref design instead. The reasoning was that copying
+	"thread" objects was a typical need in the C libraries, and so presumably
+	would be in the C++ libraries as well. It was also thought that
+	implementations could provide more efficient reference management than
+	wrappers (such as boost::shared_ptr) around a noncopyable thread
+	concept. Analysis of whether or not these arguments would hold true doesn't
+	appear to bear them out. To illustrate the analysis we'll first provide
+	pseudo-code illustrating the six typical usage patterns of a thread
+	object.</para>

+	</section>
+    <para>Of these usage patterns there's only one that requires reference
+	management (number 6). Hopefully it's fairly obvious that this usage pattern
+	simply won't occur as often as the other usage patterns. So there really
+	isn't a "typical need" for a thread concept, though there is some
+	need.</para>
+    <para>Since the need isn't typical we must use different criteria for
+	deciding on either a thread_ref or thread design. Possible criteria include
+	ease of use and performance. So let's analyze both of these
+	carefully.</para>
+    <para>With ease of use we can look at existing experience. The standard C++
+	objects that represent a system resource, such as std::iostream, are
+	noncopyable, so we know that C++ programmers must at least be experienced
+	with this design. Most C++ developers are also used to smart pointers such
+	as boost::shared_ptr, so we know they can at least adapt to a thread_ref
+	concept with little effort. So existing experience isn't going to lead us to
+	a choice.</para>
+    <para>The other thing we can look at is how difficult it is to use both
+	types for the six usage patterns above. If we find it overly difficult to
+	use a concept for any of the usage patterns there would be a good argument
+	for choosing the other design. So we'll code all six usage patterns using
+	both designs.</para>

+    <para>So what about performance? Looking at the above code examples, 
+    we can analyze the theoretical impact to performance that both designs
+	have. For <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.simple">(1)</link>
+	we can see that platforms that don't have a ref-counted native
+	thread type (POSIX, for instance) will be impacted by a thread_ref
+	design. Even if the native thread type is ref-counted there may be an impact
+	if more state information has to be maintained for concepts foreign to the
+	native API, such as clean up stacks for Win32 implementations. 
+	For <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.joined">(2)</link>
+	and <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.loop">(3)</link>
+	the performance impact will be identical to
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.simple">(1)</link>.
+	For <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.loop-join">(4)</link>
+	things get a little more interesting and we find that theoretically at least
+	the thread_ref may perform faster since the thread design requires dynamic
+	memory allocation/deallocation. However, in practice there may be dynamic
+	allocation for the thread_ref design as well, it will just be hidden from
+	the user. As long as the implementation has to do dynamic allocations the
+	thread_ref loses again because of the reference management. For 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.pass">(5)</link> we see
+	the same impact as we do for 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.loop-join">(4)</link>.
+	For <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.shared">(6)</link>
+	we still have a possible impact to
+	the thread design because of dynamic allocation but thread_ref no longer
+	suffers because of its reference management, and in fact, theoretically at
+	least, the thread_ref may do a better job of managing the references. All of
+	this indicates that thread wins for 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.simple">(1)</link>, 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.joined">(2)</link> and 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.loop">(3)</link>; with 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.loop-join">(4)</link>
+	and <link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.pass">(5)</link> the
+	winner depending on the implementation and the platform but with the thread design
+	probably having a better chance; and with 
+	<link linkend="thread.rationale_comparison.non-copyable.shared">(6)</link> 
+	it will again depend on the
+	implementation and platform but this time we favor thread_ref
+	slightly. Given all of this it's a narrow margin, but the thread design
+	prevails.</para>
+	<para>Given this analysis, and the fact that noncopyable objects for system
+	resources are the normal designs that C++ programmers are used to dealing
+	with, the &Boost.Thread; library has gone with a noncopyable design.</para>

+    <title>Rationale for not providing <emphasis>Event Variables</emphasis></title>
+    <para><emphasis>Event variables</emphasis> are simply far too
+	error-prone. <classname>boost::condition</classname> variables are a much safer
+	alternative. [Note that Graphical User Interface <emphasis>events</emphasis> are 
+	a different concept, and are not what is being discussed here.]</para>
+    <para>Event variables were one of the first synchronization primitives. They
+	are still used today, for example, in the native Windows multithreading
+	API. Yet both respected computer science researchers and experienced
+	multithreading practitioners believe event variables are so inherently
+	error-prone that they should never be used, and thus should not be part of a
+	multithreading library.</para>
+    <para>Per Brinch Hansen &cite.Hansen73; analyzed event variables in some
+	detail, pointing out [emphasis his] that "<emphasis>event operations force
+	the programmer to be aware of the relative speeds of the sending and
+	receiving processes</emphasis>". His summary:</para>
+    <blockquote>
+      <para>We must therefore conclude that event variables of the previous type
+	  are impractical for system design. <emphasis>The effect of an interaction
+	  between two processes must be independent of the speed at which it is
+	  carried out.</emphasis></para>
+    </blockquote>
+    <para>Experienced programmers using the Windows platform today report that
+	event variables are a continuing source of errors, even after previous bad
+	experiences caused them to be very careful in their use of event
+	variables. Overt problems can be avoided, for example, by teaming the event
+	variable with a mutex, but that may just convert a <link
+	linkend="thread.glossary.race-condition">race condition</link> into another
+	problem, such as excessive resource use. One of the most distressing aspects
+	of the experience reports is the claim that many defects are latent. That
+	is, the programs appear to work correctly, but contain hidden timing
+	dependencies which will cause them to fail when environmental factors or
+	usage patterns change, altering relative thread timings.</para>
+    <para>The decision to exclude event variables from &Boost.Thread; has been
+	surprising to some Windows programmers. They have written programs which
+	work using event variables, and wonder what the problem is. It seems similar
+	to the "goto considered harmful" controversy of 30 years ago. It isn't that
+	events, like gotos, can't be made to work, but rather that virtually all
+	programs using alternatives will be easier to write, debug, read, maintain,
+	and will be less likely to contain latent defects.</para>

-  to define the <a href="#class-recursive_mutex">recursive_mutex</a>, <a href="#class-recursive_try_mutex">recursive_try_mutex</a> 
-  and <a href="#class-recursive_timed_mutex">recursive_timed_mutex</a> classes.</p>
-<p>The <a href="#class-recursive_mutex">recursive_mutex</a>, <a href="#class-recursive_try_mutex">recursive_try_mutex</a> 
-  and <a href="#class-recursive_timed_mutex">recursive_timed_mutex</a> classes 
-  are models of <a href="mutex_concept.html#Mutex-concept">Mutex</a>, <a href="mutex_concept.html#TryMutex-concept">TryMutex</a>, 
-  and <a href="mutex_concept.html#TimedMutex-concept">TimedMutex</a> respectively. 
-  These types should be used to synchronize access to shared resources when recursive 
-  locking by a single thread is likely to occur. A good example for this is when 
-  a class supplies &quot;internal synchronization&quot; to ensure <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe"> 
-  thread-safety</a> and a function of the class may have to call other functions 
-  of the class which also attempt to lock the mutex. For recursive locking mechanics, 
-  see <a href="mutex.html">mutexes</a>.</p>
-<p>Each class supplies one or more typedefs for lock types which model matching 
-  lock concepts. For the best possible performance you should use the mutex class 
-  that supports the minimum set of lock types that you need.</p>

+                    It has been decided not to release the Read/Write Mutex, since the current

+                    which problems led to the decision to held back this mutex type.The issue
+                    has been discovered before 1.33 was released and the code has
+                    been omitted from that release. A reworked mutex is expected to appear in 1.35.

+			<title>Statically-link build option added</title>
+
+			<para>The option to link &Boost.Thread; as a static
+			library has been added (with some limitations on Win32 platforms).
+			This feature was originally removed from an earlier version
+			of Boost because <classname>boost::thread_specific_ptr</classname>
+			required that &Boost.Thread; be dynamically linked in order
+			for its cleanup functionality to work on Win32 platforms.
+			Because this limitation never applied to non-Win32 platforms,
+			because significant progress has been made in removing
+			the limitation on Win32 platforms (many thanks to
+			Aaron LaFramboise and Roland Scwarz!), and because the lack
+			of static linking is one of the most common complaints of
+			&Boost.Thread; users, this decision was reversed.</para>
+			
+			<para>On non-Win32 platforms: 
+			To choose the dynamically linked version of &Boost.Thread; 
+			using Boost's auto-linking feature, #define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL;
+			to choose the statically linked version, 
+			#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB. 
+			If neither symbols is #defined, the default will be chosen.
+			Currently the default is the statically linked version.</para>
+			
+			<para>On Win32 platforms using VC++: 
+			Use the same #defines as for non-Win32 platforms 
+			(BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL and BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB).
+			If neither is #defined, the default will be chosen. 
+			Currently the default is the statically linked version
+			if the VC++ run-time library is set to
+			"Multi-threaded" or "Multi-threaded Debug", and
+			the dynamically linked version
+			if the VC++ run-time library is set to 
+			"Multi-threaded DLL" or "Multi-threaded Debug DLL".</para>
+			
+			<para>On Win32 platforms using compilers other than VC++:
+			Use the same #defines as for non-Win32 platforms 
+			(BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL and BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB).
+			If neither is #defined, the default will be chosen. 
+			Currently the default is the dynamically linked version
+			because it has not yet been possible to implement automatic
+			tss cleanup in the statically linked version for compilers
+			other than VC++, although it is hoped that this will be
+			possible in a future version of &Boost.Thread;.
+			
+			Note for advanced users: &Boost.Thread; provides several "hook"
+			functions to allow users to experiment with the statically
+			linked version on Win32 with compilers other than VC++.
+			These functions are on_process_enter(), on_process_exit(),
+			on_thread_enter(), and on_thread_exit(), and are defined
+			in tls_hooks.cpp. See the comments in that file for more
+			information.</para>

+		<purpose>
+			<para>The <classname>thread</classname> class represents threads of
+			execution, and provides the functionality to create and manage 
+			threads within the &Boost.Thread; library. See 
+			<xref linkend="thread.glossary"/> for a precise description of 
+			<link linkend="thread.glossary.thread">thread of execution</link>,
+			and for definitions of threading-related terms and of thread states such as 
+			<link linkend="thread.glossary.thread-state">blocked</link>.</para>
+		</purpose>
+
+		<description>
+			<para>A <link linkend="thread.glossary.thread">thread of execution</link>
+			has an initial function. For the program's initial thread, the initial 
+			function is <code>main()</code>. For other threads, the initial 
+			function is <code>operator()</code> of the function object passed to
+			the <classname>thread</classname> object's constructor.</para>
+
+			<para>A thread of execution  is said to be &quot;finished&quot; 
+			or to have &quot;finished execution&quot; when its initial function returns or 
+			is terminated. This includes completion of all thread cleanup 
+			handlers, and completion of the normal C++ function return behaviors,
+			such as destruction of automatic storage (stack) objects and releasing 
+			any associated implementation resources.</para>
+
+			<para>A thread object has an associated state which is either
+			&quot;joinable&quot; or &quot;non-joinable&quot;.</para>
+
+			<para>Except as described below, the policy used by an implementation
+			of &Boost.Thread; to schedule transitions between thread states is 
+			unspecified.</para>
+
+			<para><note>Just as the lifetime of a file may be different from the
+			lifetime of an <code>iostream</code> object which represents the file, the lifetime
+			of a thread of execution may be different from the 
+			<classname>thread</classname> object which represents the thread of 
+			execution. In particular, after a call to <code>join()</code>,
+			the thread of execution will no longer exist even though the 
+			<classname>thread</classname> object continues to exist until the 
+			end of its normal lifetime. The converse is also possible; if 
+			a <classname>thread</classname> object is destroyed without 
+			<code>join()</code> first having been called, the thread of execution 
+			continues until its initial function completes.</note></para>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>The header &lt;<a href="../../../boost/thread/thread.hpp">boost/thread.hpp</a>&gt; 
-  defines the classes <a href="#class-thread">thread</a> and <a href="#class-thread_group">thread_group</a> 
-  which are used to create, observe and manage threads and groups of threads.</p>
-<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
-<h3><a name="class-thread"></a>Class <code>thread</code></h3>
-<p>The <code>thread</code> class represents threads of execution, and provides 
-  the functionality to create and manage threads within the <b> Boost.Threads</b> 
-  library. See <a href="definitions.html"> Definitions</a> for a precise description 
-  of &quot;thread of execution&quot;, and for definitions of threading related 
-  terms and of thread states such as &quot;blocked&quot;.</p>
-<p>A thread of execution has an initial function. For the program&#39;s initial 
-  thread, the initial function is <code>main()</code>. For other threads, the 
-  initial function is <code>operator()</code> of the function object passed to 
-  the class <code>thread</code> constructor.</p>
-<p>A thread of execution is said to be &quot;finished&quot; or &quot;finished 
-  execution&quot; when its initial function returns or is terminated. This includes 
-  completion of all thread cleanup handlers, and completion of the normal C++ 
-  function return behaviors, such as destruction of automatic storage (stack) 
-  objects and releasing any associated implementation resources.</p>
-<p>A thread object has an associated state which is either &quot;joinable&quot; 
-  or &quot;non-joinable&quot;.</p>
-<p>Except as described below, the policy used by an implementation of <b>Boost.Threads</b> 
-  to schedule transitions between thread states is unspecified.</p>
-<p><b>Note:</b> Just as the lifetime of a file may be different from the lifetime 
-  of an iostream object which represents the file, the lifetime of a thread of 
-  execution may be different from the <code> thread</code> object which represents 
-  the thread of execution. In particular, after a call to <code>join()</code>, 
-  the thread of execution will no longer exist even though the <code>thread</code> 
-  object continues to exist until the end of its normal lifetime. The converse 
-  is also possible; if a <code>thread</code> object is destroyed without <code>join()</code> 
-  having first been called, the thread of execution continues until its initial 
-  function completes.</p>

-<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
-<p>The header &lt;<a href="../../../boost/thread/tss.hpp">boost/thread/tss.hpp</a>&gt; 
-  defines the class <a href="#class-thread_specific_ptr">thread_specific_ptr</a> 
-  which is used to manage data associated with specific thread instances.</p>
-<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
-<h3><a name="class-thread_specific_ptr"></a>Class <code>thread_specific_ptr</code></h3>
-<p>The <code>thread_specific_ptr</code> class defines an interface for using thread 
-  specific storage. Thread specific storage is data associated with individual 
-  threads and is often used to make operations <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe">thread-safe</a> 
-  that rely on global data.</p>
-<p>Template <code>thread_specific_ptr</code> stores a pointer to an object obtained 
-  via <code>new</code> on a thread-by-thread basis and calls delete on the contained 
-  pointer when the thread terminates. Each thread initially stores the null pointer 
-  in each <code> thread_specific_ptr</code> instance.</p>
-<p>The template <code>thread_specific_ptr</code> is useful in the following cases:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>An interface was originally written assuming a single thread of control 
-    and is being ported to a multithreaded environment.</li>
-  <li>Each thread of control invokes sequences of methods that share data that 
-    must be logically accessed through a globally visible access point, but are 
-    physically unique for each thread, instead of being explicitly passed.</li>
-</ul>
