<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> enables the use of multiple threads
of execution with shared data in portable C++ code. It provides classes and
functions for managing the threads themselves, along with others for synchronizing
data between the threads or providing separate copies of data specific to individual
threads.
</p>
<p>
The <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> library was originally written
and designed by William E. Kempf (version 1).
</p>
<p>
Anthony Williams version (version 2) was a major rewrite designed to closely
follow the proposals presented to the C++ Standards Committee, in particular
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2497.html" target="_top">N2497</a>,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2320.html" target="_top">N2320</a>,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2184.html" target="_top">N2184</a>,
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2139.html" target="_top">N2139</a>,
and <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2094.html" target="_top">N2094</a>
</p>
<p>
Vicente J. Botet Escriba started (version 3) the adaptation to comply with
the accepted Thread C++11 library (Make use of Boost.Chrono and Boost.Move)
and the <a href="http://home.roadrunner.com/~hinnant/bloomington/shared_mutex.html" target="_top">Shared
Locking</a> Howard Hinnant proposal except for the upward conversions.
Some minor non-standard features have been added also as thread attributes,
reverse_lock, shared_lock_guard.
</p>
<p>
In order to use the classes and functions described here, you can either include
the specific headers specified by the descriptions of each class or function,
or include the master thread library header:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">thread</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span>
</pre>
<p>
which includes all the other headers in turn.
