standar C++ and threads; any Poxis lib?

[=?ISO-8859-15?Q?Diego_Alonso_Gonz=E1lez?=]

I have been reading for a while and trying to make something I was asked.
Make a simple C++ library thread safe. I develop under Linux and the
library must be as Posix-fic as possible. Now the problem is the
standard C++ itself has no Threading whatsoever, windows platform deals
with its own threads' library, while in Linux... there are plenty.
due my case, what is the approach: what Linux C++ library has posix
threads. I heard they went into the kernel and many nuisances, but I
don't really know what to use and HOW!!

Correct; ergo, you are in the wrong newsgroup. Try asking in a
Linux/programming group.

Does this article give you any ideas for your homework?

The standardization is on the way...

Did you try any portable classes that work with NPTL?

As you've been able to ascertain, Standard C++ has no thread classes
associated with its library.

That being said, check out http://www.boost.org.

Cool blog. Thanks for the post even though it was for the benefit of the OP.

Having the shared_ptr and the regex libs added to the standard would be very
nice. They both ROCK!

I am surprised that threads are being considered (pleasantly surprised).

Again, thanks.

Austria C++ also has a "posix like" model (it's posix underneath on
Unix/Linux and uses Win32 API's on Windows) but the API is pure C++.
