Hello

I have a situation in which hundreds of threads potentially run side by
side.
They exchange minimal data and are fully in sync by way of a scoped mutex.

Now I have a situation in which a single seperate thread runs alongside all
the worker threads.
This thread is responsible for keeping data sets used by the workers,
current.

Given the complexity and total alternation of the data onthis interval, my
question is;
Does boost threads allow my single thread to halt all other activity ,of all
the other threads,from a single thread itself.

This is what I need to accomplish and any guidance to this matter is a huge
help.

John
