[Threads-devel] reader/writer locks

Hello Boost Thread Dev,

I'm wondering if there are any plans to fix the reader/writer locks

  http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/read_write_mutex.html

or if it works on a restricted set of platforms, in particular, Linux 2.6.x
and maybe Win32.

If not, can someone suggest an alternative?  I'm using C++ and would ideally
like something that is exception-safe, but if not, I can construct my own
wrappers.  GPL is out of the questions, but LGPL or anything less
restrictive would work.

Thank you,

Allen
