BOOST_THREAD_HAS_EINTR_BUG...

Not really sure where to bring this issue up.

I have a singleton globals object with a session manager, share manager, etc. that is destroyed atexit() on final reference release.

There are a few mutexes in the implementation. This functions fine on Windows, MacOS, etc - the globals object is released during atexit() and shutdown proceeds normally.

Under Linux when BOOST_THREAD_HAS_EINTR_BUG is defined we SIGABRT at this:

        ~mutex()
        {
          BOOST_VERIFY(!posix::pthread_mutex_destroy(&m));
        }

The verify fails and we abort().

When I define BOOST_THREAD_HAS_NO_EINTR_BUG we do not abort - which means that posix::pthread_mutex_destroy() returns 0 in the case where BOOST_THREAD_HAS_NO_EINTR_BUG is defined and returns non-zero in the case of it not being defined.

Guidance? Also point me at a better place for this discussion if there is such a place.

Thanks,
David Bien
