 hello,
 there is, I think, a bad use of exception in the destructor of
 http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/interprocess/sync/posix/interprocess_mutex.hpp


 I have learned a rule at school: "no exception must be thrown within a
 destructor" (also see
 https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/cplusplus/ERR33-CPP.+Destructors+must+be

 +exception-safe or http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-

 lite/exceptions.html#faq-17.3)

 In the destructor of interprocess_mutex, an assert check for the good
 destruction of the posix mutex, if it fails, it throws an exception ...
 which is really bad in my case :) (even if I unlock the mutex just before
 the destructor call)

 Regards,
 BDM.
