I am going to give the committee the benefit of the doubt and assume
that at least some of them understand the basics of synchronization and
OS design. But the more I read this thread (no pun intended), the more
I get the feeling is that real problem is simply that there
C++-is-lacking-thread support crowd is primarily composed of people who
have very little or no experience with multi-threading.
Good heavens! How did a statement like that pass the moderators?
Nobody's perfect. Try moderating awhile, and you'll see that
some things inevitably slip through.
This
guy is giving the benefit of doubt to Hans Boehm?
Rather amazing, isn't it.
This kind of dual
standards is very confusing. In another thread (subject: "Threads -
When?") I tried to correct James Kanze's unfair (and uninformed)
characterization of Jeffrey Richter as someone who has "no clue what
multithreading is all about" and it never showed up even after 4 days
and some thing like the above breezes right past in?
Don't quote me out of context. I said that one particular
statement Jeffrey Richter made gave the impression that... My
criticism was of the statement (and more generally, of the
article which contained it). The guy may actually be an expert,
but if so, he had an off day when he wrote the article. (Or
more likely, he had to produce an article, and didn't have any
good topic handy, so he invented one and tried to make it sound
interesting, even if it had no practical interest.)
Anyway, to the OP -- can you please read this:
http://www.artima.com/cppsource/threads_meeting.html
before adopting that elitist attitude.
For example.
I participate in the standardization activities myself, when I
can. One of my motivations is that I know of no other group
with so much combined expertise; I learn something in almost
every discussion I participate in.
