AFIO combined with anything not speaking AFIO is not supported, nor will be. You will probably find this unreasonable and not useful, but such are the differences between the platforms in file system any additional abstraction is not practically useful.
Sorry, are you saying that AFIO cannot work if other programs are touching the same files/directories? How that is potentially useful? If I control all parties that write to a particular tree, I can use either boost.interprocess, or boost.thread, to avoid all and every conflict at the filesystem locking.
that's very troubling. Neal, can you clarify what are the guarantees? Is it just file locking that is unreliable or what else? -- gpd
