Currently, 10 of the boost thread unit-tests on trunk fail when building with msvc-11 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2012). All of the failing tests are due to native_handle() methods not being implemented on win32 [1]. The boost thread synchronization doc states that native_handle() is an optional method that is not available on all platforms [2]. Therefore, one can argue that the lack of native_handle() must not necessarily be treated as an error in the tests. I've therefore attached a patch that disables native_handle tests on win32, so that all unit-tests pass.

The reason for my request is that it would be very nice with a error-free unit-test baseline prior to implementing changes to the thread library.

Hi,

I have found an alternative that consists in not running the test when threadapi is win32

Please could you check the following patch?

I would commit it if it works for you.
