#11154: Constructing boost::interprocess::interprocess_semaphore throws in MacOS
10.9.5
-----------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter: Jonathan Jones <jonathan.jones@…> | Owner: igaztanaga
     Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: interprocess
  Version: Boost 1.56.0 | Severity: Regression
 Keywords: |
-----------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 Using boost::interprocess::interprocess_semaphore from Boost 1.56 and
 running MacOS 10.9.5, it simply throws an exception saying the function is
 not implemented:

     libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type
 boost::interprocess::interprocess_exception: Function not implemented

 This is a regression from Boost 1.49 and MacOS 10.9.5, where this works
 fine.

 Looking at the two, it appears that 1.49 is using the generic spin
 emulation for interprocess_semaphore, whereas 1.56 is implementing
 interprocess_semaphore using POSIX unnamed semaphores, which aren't
 implemented in MacOS 10.9.5.
