Re: [Boost-users] thread library

Using the boost::thread lib would mean that your thread code is portable to different OS's. I don't know how good or bad the linux thread lib is. I would suspect it's a C lib and so doesn't offer C++ handiness. Whereas boost::thread is a C++ lib. Christian On 1/20/06, Robert Hanson <robert.hanson@spanlink.com> wrote:

I'm looking at porting a windows (win32) app to linux. Is there a good reason to consider the boost thread library over the linux thread library? Does boost provide a wrapper for threads, so that I won't need to change my source code when porting between the two?
