more synchronization primitives for the threads classes

Reported by: elfring Owned by: Roland Schwarz
Milestone: Component: thread
Version: None Severity: Problem
Keywords: Cc:

Description 

Some synchronization primitives are available in your library 
"http://boost.org/libs/thread/doc/index.html" today. I would 
like to use the other primitives, too.
 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/pthread.h.html

 
2.1 critical regions
 2.2 semaphores
 2.3 recursive 
mutexes
 2.4 read/write locks
 2.5 monitors
 2.6 
barriers
 2.7 mutual exclusion with busy waiting (spin 
locks)

Other class libraries like 
"http://zthread.sourceforge.net/html/hierarchy.html" seem 
to be more complete already.

Well, I know your opinion from 
"http://boost.org/libs/thread/doc/faq.html" that some items are 
not in your current feature set.
