Re: [Boost-users] boost threads: threads priority

Hi Amit, No you didn't miss anything. It doesn't exist but is on the to do list. It is worthwhile remembering that when boost does add such a mechanism it is likely to be a fairly simple abstraction to maintain portability and a specific platform may offer extended mechanisms. The meaning of priorities and scheduling mechanisms vary quite a bit from platform to platform. Regards, Matt.
