     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.
