| | 504 | * '''Description:''' Boost.!InterThreads extends Boost.Threads adding some features: |
| | 505 | * thread decorator: thread_decorator allows to define setup/cleanup functions which will be called only once by thread: setup before the thread function and cleanup at thread exit. |
| | 506 | * thread_decorator can now decorate a nullary function in addition to a callable function |
| | 507 | * thread specific shared pointer: this is an extension of the thread_specific_ptr providing access to this thread specific context from other threads. As it is shared the stored pointer is a shared_ptr instead of a raw one. |
| | 508 | * thread keep alive mechanism: this mechanism allows to detect threads that do not prove that they are alive by calling to the keep_alive_point regularly. When a thread is declared dead a user provided function is called, which by default will abort the program. |
| | 509 | * thread tuple: defines a thread group where the number of threads is know statically and the threads are created at construction time. |
| | 510 | * set_once: a synchronizer that allows to set a variable only once, notifying to the variable value to whatever is waiting for that. |
| | 511 | * thread_tuple_once: an extension of the boost::thread_tuple which allows to join the thread finishing the first, using for that the set_once synchronizer. |
| | 512 | * thread_group_once: an extension of the boost::thread_group which allows to join the thread finishing the first, using for that the set_once synchronizer. |
| | 513 | |
| | 514 | thread_decorator and thread_specific_shared_ptr are based on the original implementation of threadalert written by Roland Schwarz. |

| 1010 | | * '''Categories:''' [#PreprocessorMetaprogramming Preprocessor Metaprogramming] |
| 1011 | | * '''Description:''' The variadic macro data library, or VMD for short, is a library of macros which provide important functionality for variadic macros as well as integrating variadic macros with the Boost preprocessor library ( Boost PP ). It integrates with Boost PP without changing the latter library in any way. |
| 1012 | | |
| 1013 | | The functionality of the library may be summed up as: |
| 1014 | | |
| 1015 | | 1. Providing the means to extract any single token from the comma-separated data which makes up variadic macro data, as well as to calculate the number of tokens. |
| 1016 | | 2. Convert variadic macro data to and from Boost PP data types. |
| 1017 | | 3. Enhance the tuple functionality of Boost PP by providing a means of calculating the size of a tuple as well as by providing equivalent macros to Boost PP tuple macros which do not require the size of the tuple to be explicitly passed. |
