Hi:
I’m just starting to use boost atomic.
I need to protect an std::map.

If I had: boost::atomic<std;:map<int, int> > test;
Would I need to protect this with a mutex, or is the fact that the variable is atomic enough?

look into the limitation section you will see:

Using non-POD-classes as template paramater to atomic<T> results in undefined behavior

Cheers
SEean.
