     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  atomic      
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0      |    Severity:  Problem     
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The current implementation of atomic_flag has non-trivial default
 constructor that initializes the flag to the non-signalled state. This
 contradicts the standard which requires the default constructor to be
 trivial, leaving the flag uninitialized. The flag should be initialized
 with the ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT macro, which is not currently provided by
 Boost.Atomic.

 The atomic_flag interface should be as close as possible to C++11, which
 would improve portability.
