3809	global namespace polution	John Maddock	chris_kohlhoff	"As noted in this thread: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/01/160448.php all global symbols whether macros or extern ""C"" functions should start with a ""boost_"" prefix - both to avoid polluting the global namespace as far as is possible, and to make boost-related symbols readily identifiable and searchable.

Asio has the global symbol ""asio_detail_posix_thread_function"" which should probably be ""boost_asio_detail_posix_thread_function""."	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.42.0	asio	Boost Development Trunk	Problem	fixed
