[Boost-users] mix usage of boost.thread and pthread?

Hi all,

Is it OK to use both pthread and boost.thread in the same program under
linux? E.g., there are two cases:

1. use pthread api to create/join/detach/cancel threads but use
boost.thread's mutex/condition_variable etc. to do thread synchronization,
and this_thread/sleep/get_id/thread_local_storage etc..

2. use boost.thread api to create/join/detach/interrupt thread but use
pthread api to do thread synchronization.

I know boost.thread is a pthread api wrapper under linux, but I'm afraid of
that the two cases above aren't safe if boost.thread uses some tricks I
don't understand.

Would you kindly give any hints?

Thanks!

Hua
