Re: [CLucene-dev] multithreads

[Doug C. <cu...@lu...>]

I'm not sure a thread library is needed so much as a mutex library that 
is compatible with whatever thread libraries folks end up using.  Like 
Java Lucene, CLucene should be thread-safe, but not itself 
multithreaded.  But I'[m probably just being over-precise: a particular 
mutex implementation will probably only work with a particular thread 
implementation.

I've heard good things about the Boost Libraries 
(http::/www.boost.org/).  They have a portable C++ thread library that 
includes a mutex implemenation.  However this might be overkill.  You 
might just want to define a couple of macros, like MAKE_MUTEX, and 
WITH_MUTEX, and then define them differently for different platforms.
