2309	Lack of g++ symbol visibility support in Boost.Thread	rbock@…	viboes	"Compiling code which includes boost/thread.hpp with 

g++ -fvisibility=hidden

leads to a lack of visibility of symbols inside Boost.Thread. As a result, boost::thread_interrupted exception cannot be caught in the client code.

The attached example yields

Thread 0x60b050 caught something else
Thread 0x60b3e0 caught something else

instead of 

Thread 0x60b050 got interrupted
Thread 0x60b3e0 got interrupted
