#3690: regex depends on pthread library when boost is built with threading=single

Comment(by jdccdevel@â¦):
I am compiling with gcc version 4.2.4 on AIX.
I was able to remove the dependency on pthreads by building with
BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS defined in boost/config/user.hpp
This is (thankfully) sufficient for my purposes for now.
I Definitely concur that threading=single is a highly misleading option in
this case. If there needs to be two options, "threading=single" should
renamed to "threading=default" as you implied above. Not being familiar
with the internals of the boost build system, I would have expected
threading=single to prevent the setting of the "BOOST_HAS_THREADS" define
in all cases. However this is obviously not happening.
I understand that this is something of a unique case, as I cannot have a
dependency on pthreads. However, If nothing else, I do believe that this
should be more explicitly documented in the "bjam --help" documentation
and elsewhere.
