You better first fix POSIX (data race-free) memory model. Extending 
it with atomic<> for lock-free programming is the next step. I've got 
a bunch of DRs against POSIX XBD 4.10 sitting "open" for ages with no
progress on horizon at all. Perhaps cpp-thread "decadence" gang can 
help, so to speak. http://www.opengroup.org/austin
