Here is the setup:<br><br>MyCommon.so<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">- this lib contains some basic classes, one of which (baseTRx) has a boost::thread.<br>- this lib includes boost_system and boost_thread using the --whole-archive flag (linux) and equivalent for darwin and win<br>
     - this was done to minimize the number of files the customer would receive, among other reasons...<br></div>MyTRx.so<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">- this lib contains a class derived from baseTRx (myTRx).<br>- links to MyCommon<br>
</div>MyEXE<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">- this contains main.<br>- links to MyCommon<br>- loads MyTRx at run time.<br>- creates an instance od myTRx.<br>- signals MyEXE (via interupt()) when its time to cleanly shut down<br clear="all">
</div><br>Using GCC 4.2 w/ -fvisibility=hidden, thread_interrupted isn&#39;t being caught in myTRx since it&#39;s being thrown from a different so w/ hidden visibility.<br><br>The fix for this is:<br>    #define BOOST_THREAD_DECL __attribute__ ((visibility(&quot;default&quot;))) <br>
when gcc has visibility.<br><br><br>Am I correct?  If so, I&#39;ll write the defect and work on the patch....<br><br>If I&#39;m wrong, what am I doing wrong: what should I do different?<br><br>-- <br>Scott Bailey<br>
