     Type:  Bugs                        |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0                |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0                |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  visibility catch exception  |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 Compiling code which includes boost/thread.hpp with

 g++ -fvisibility=hidden

 leads to a lack of visibility of symbols inside Boost.Thread. As a result,
 boost::thread_interrupted exception cannot be caught in the client code.

 The attached example yields

 Thread 0x60b050 caught something else
 Thread 0x60b3e0 caught something else

 instead of

 Thread 0x60b050 got interrupted
 Thread 0x60b3e0 got interrupted

 boost:users mailing list, especially the following two postings:
