   Status:  new                      |    Version:  Boost 1.54.0
Component:  None                     |   Keywords:  synchronization
 Severity:  Problem                  |  WaitForSingleObject API failure
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 boost/thread/win32/shared_mutex.hpp ignores the return value from
 win32::WaitForSingleObject. It appears only WAIT_TIMEOUT is handled, and
 not WAIT_FAILED.

 BOOST_VERIFY is used for debugging and diagnostic builds, but no actions
 are taken for failures in release or production builds.
