Is it OK to use both pthread and boost.thread in the same program under linux?
Yes.
1. use pthread api to create/join/detach/cancel threads but use boost.thread's mutex/condition_variable etc. to do thread synchronization, and this_thread/ sleep/get_id/thread_local_storage etc..
That's fine.
Another reply of this topic by OvermindDL1 said "things like this_thread will not work on non Boost.Threads". Could you give any explanation about this?
2. use boost.thread api to create/join/detach/interrupt thread but use pthread api to do thread synchronization.
And that's fine too.
