The winapi_mutex_wrapper has some advantages over the named_mutex: * + not file based; i.e. no chance of leaking files in case crash * + no problem of singleton destruction order. We use 'remove' in our own singleton but that gives a problem being in 'atexit' * - Win32 / Win64 specific While portability is a good thing, we solely develop for Windows so the more handy Windows solution is ok. There is already a windows_shared_memory (which is also more handy than the portable shared_memory_object). Can't this one be promoted to official?"
