#2638: shared mutex should be recursive
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
  Reporter: mur_at_[hidden] | Owner: anthonyw
      Type: Feature Requests | Status: closed
 Milestone: Boost 1.38.0 | Component: thread
   Version: Boost 1.37.0 | Severity: Optimization
Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: shared mutex recursive
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Changes (by anthonyw):

  * status: new => closed
  * resolution: => wontfix

Comment:

 I consider recursive mutexes in general as undesirable. A recursive shared
 mutex would be particularly complex, and usage likely error prone due to
 the interaction between readers and writers. I have no intention of
 providing such an implementation.
