Hi All
Only today In the Thread library I noticed in the synchronization section
the classes  boost<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.unique_future>
::<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.unique_future>
unique_future<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.unique_future>
, boost::shared_future<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.shared_future>
 and boost<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.promise>
::<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.promise>
promise<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.futures.reference.promise>
.
Are these classes  the  same  "futures and promises" of  the the next C++0x
classes or it is missing something in the current boost implementation?
I would like to start getting confident with these new tools, but I would
like also to know what are the difference with the ones that will come out
in the C++0x.
Thanks for any advice
