boost::interprocess::message_queue::receive and timed_receive bug(Linux)

[anonymous]

There is a bug in boost::interprocess::message_queue, the receive and timed_receive methods, it will make the cpu's load more than 100%. Under the environment 1 there has the problem,but under the environment 2 is ok.

environment 1: Linux 2.6.9-67; g++(gcc)3.4.6,g++(gcc)4.1.2; Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6); redhat-3;

environment 2: Linux 2.6.18-128; g++(gcc)4.1.2; Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

environment 3: Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp; g++ (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)

Initially we saw the same problem -- 100% cpu. Adding -I/usr/include/nptl to the build solved the problem:

/usr/include/bits/posix_opt.h: #define _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED -1 /usr/include/nptl/bits/posix_opt.h: #define _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED 200112L

YMMV
