[Boost-users] [signals] threading_model.hpp locking bug?

Timmo,

In looking over signals/detail/threading_model.hpp, it looks like 
signals::mutli_threaded isn't thread-safe due to the way it uses 
scoped_lock.  That is, scoped_lock is not thread-safe.  I used a slightly 
different approach in thread_safe_signals/single_threaded.hpp (which 
provides a null mutex type) and multi_threaded.hpp (which provides real 
mutexes and is not included by default to prevent default inclusion of 
boost.thread headers).
