Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0              |   Component:  thread        
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0              |    Severity:  Not Applicable
 Keywords:  thread_specific_ptr       |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 I didn't know that the key of thread_specific_ptr was the address of the
 variable. I expected a constant complexity for boost::thread_specific_ptr,
 but if the key is the address this seams not possible. I supose you had
 some good raison to not use an index key instead of the address.

 Please, could you add the nature of the key, the complexity of the
 boost::thread_specific_ptr and the rationale on the design choice on the
 documentation.
