RE: [Log4cpp-devel] Suggestion: Thread Library

[Bastiaan B. <Bas...@li...>]

Hi Paulo,

I welcome support for any thread library to make log4cpp MT safe. Given =
the currently limited MT primitive requirements of log4cpp it should be =
easy to write an adapter class for GNU Common C++ threading support, =
just like the one for omniORB or Boost.=20
However I do want to make sure that compiling log4cpp with any =
particular thread library is optional: as soon as log4cpp depends on a =
specific library you start to shut out people who cannot or do not want =
to use that library.=20
So I would like to invite you to help improve log4cpp's MT support, but =
please do it in a way that a simple '--with-gnu-common-cpp-threads' =
switch will enable or disable it.

Thanks,

Bastiaan Bakker
