Do someone know how to make threadapi dependent on target-os and not on os?

I have tried

local rule default_threadapi ( )
{
    local api = pthread ;
    #if [ os.name ] = "NT" { api = win32 ; }
    if [ target-os ] = windows { api = win32 ; }
    return $(api) ;
}

But this doesn't works.

Does it works if you set threadapi=posix on the command line?

See Ticket #7706

If I'm not wrong the way to cross compile Boost.Thread is using threadapi feature. Please reopen it if it doesn't work with threadapi=posix.

Replying to viboes:

Maybe target-os should be used to determine a default threadapi if one is not set?

We have tried a lot of things (See Ticket #7706), and currently we are unable to make dependent the default threadapi of target-os. Of course if someone knows how to do this a patch is welcome.

Note that currently the user is able to choose its threadapi for the same target-os.
