Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0                                      |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0                                      |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  thread, shared_mutex, try_lock, try_lock_upgrade  |  
--------------------------------------------------------------+-------------
 The windows implementation of shared_mutex does not provide try_lock and
 try_lock_upgrade member functions, while pthread version does. I guess,
 the functions were simply forgotten to be implemented.

 The try_lock function can be a trivial wrapper on top of timed_lock. The
 try_lock_upgrade function is a bit more complicated and, AFAICT, a part of
 lock_upgrade can be extracted as try_lock_upgrade.
