Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

This is the documentation for a development version of boost.

//  See http://www.boost.org for most recent version.

//  Old versions of vxWorks (namely everything below 6.x) are
//  absolutely unable to use boost. Old STLs and compilers 
//  like (GCC 2.96) . Do not even think of getting this to work, 
//  a miserable failure will  be guaranteed!
//
//  VxWorks supports C++ linkage in the kernel with
//  DKMs (Downloadable Kernel Modules). But, until recently 
//  the kernel used a C89 library with no
//  wide character support and no guarantee of ANSI C. 
//  Regardless of the C library the same Dinkum 
//  STL library is used in both contexts. 
//
//  Similarly the Dinkum abridged STL that supports the loosely specified 
//  embedded C++ standard has not been tested and is unlikely to work 
//  on anything but the simplest library.
// ====================================================================
//
// Some important information regarding the usage of POSIX semaphores:
// -------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// VxWorks as a real time operating system handles threads somewhat
// different from what "normal" OSes do, regarding their scheduling!
// This could lead to a scenario called "priority inversion" when using
// semaphores, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion.
//
// Now, VxWorks POSIX-semaphores for DKM's default to the usage of
// priority inverting semaphores, which is fine. On the other hand,
// for RTP's it defaults to using non priority inverting semaphores,
// which could easily pose a serious problem for a real time process.
//
// To change the default properties for POSIX-semaphores in VxWorks 7
// enable core > CORE_USER Menu > DEFAULT_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT 
//  
// In VxWorks 6.x so as to integrate with boost. 
// - Edit the file 
//   installDir/vxworks-6.x/target/usr/src/posix/pthreadLib.c
// - Around line 917 there should be the definition of the default
//   mutex attributes:
//
//   LOCAL pthread_mutexattr_t defaultMutexAttr =
//       {
//       PTHREAD_INITIALIZED_OBJ, PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE, 0,
//       PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
//       };
//
//   Here, replace PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE by PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT.
// - Around line 1236 there should be a definition for the function
//   pthread_mutexattr_init(). A couple of lines below you should
//   find a block of code like this:
//
//   pAttr->mutexAttrStatus      = PTHREAD_INITIALIZED_OBJ;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrProtocol    = PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrPrioceiling = 0;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrType        = PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT;
//
//   Here again, replace PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE by PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT.
// - Finally, rebuild your VSB. This will rebuild the libraries
//   with the changed properties. That's it! Now, using boost should
//   no longer cause any problems with task deadlocks!
//
//  ====================================================================
