11 | The original implementation of __boost_thread__ was written by William Kempf, with contributions from numerous others. This new | |
12 | version initially grew out of an attempt to rewrite __boost_thread__ to William Kempf's design with fresh code that could be | |
13 | released under the Boost Software License. However, as the C++ Standards committee have been actively discussing standardizing a | |
14 | thread library for C++, this library has evolved to reflect the proposals, whilst retaining as much backwards-compatibility as | |
15 | possible. | |
16 | ||
17 | Particular thanks must be given to Roland Schwarz, who contributed a lot of time and code to the original __boost_thread__ library, | |
18 | and who has been actively involved with the rewrite. The scheme for dividing the platform-specific implementations into separate | |
19 | directories was devised by Roland, and his input has contributed greatly to improving the quality of the current implementation. | |
20 | ||
21 | Thanks also must go to Peter Dimov, Howard Hinnant, Alexander Terekhov, Chris Thomasson and others for their comments on the | |
22 | implementation details of the code. | |
