[ANYTHING] Which multithreading library should we use?

Post by greenman » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:25 pm

Hi to everyone

In order to handle multiple client connections I was looking for a (C++) multithreading library. What i found so far is the boost.thread library and the zthread library. I thought that if someone else uses multiple threads we should use the same library in order to make things easier.

Does anyone use/need multiple threads?
I thought I'd take the boost library (license should be ok); does someone want to use a different one, or does someone have a hint for a better library?

cheers

Another vote for boost-lib. As boost is (can be made a requirement) for cegui, which we are going to use. So there is no gain in using to different libs.

Yeah right!
boost also includes a regexp (regular expression) library which we can use i.e. for xml parsing.
