| 28 | <p>William E. Kempf was the architect, designer, and implementor of |
|---|
| 29 | <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span>.</p> |
|---|
| 30 | <p>Mac OS Carbon implementation written by Mac Murrett.</p> |
|---|
| 31 | <p>Dave Moore provided initial submissions and further comments on the |
|---|
| 32 | <code class="computeroutput">barrier</code> |
|---|
| 33 | , |
|---|
| 34 | <code class="computeroutput">thread_pool</code> |
|---|
| 35 | , |
|---|
| 36 | <code class="computeroutput">read_write_mutex</code> |
|---|
| 37 | , |
|---|
| 38 | <code class="computeroutput">read_write_try_mutex</code> |
|---|
| 39 | and |
|---|
| 40 | <code class="computeroutput">read_write_timed_mutex</code> |
|---|
| 41 | classes.</p> |
|---|
| 42 | <p>Important contributions were also made by Jeremy Siek (lots of input |
|---|
| 43 | on the design and on the implementation), Alexander Terekhov (lots of input |
|---|
| 44 | on the Win32 implementation, especially in regards to boost::condition, as |
|---|
| 45 | well as a lot of explanation of POSIX behavior), Greg Colvin (lots of input |
|---|
| 46 | on the design), Paul Mclachlan, Thomas Matelich and Iain Hanson (for help |
|---|
| 47 | in trying to get the build to work on other platforms), and Kevin S. Van |
|---|
| 48 | Horn (for several updates/corrections to the documentation).</p> |
|---|
| 49 | <p>Mike Glassford finished changes to <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> that were begun |
|---|
| 50 | by William Kempf and moved them into the main CVS branch. |
|---|
| 51 | He also addressed a number of issues that were brought up on the Boost |
|---|
| 52 | developer's mailing list and provided some additions and changes to the |
|---|
| 53 | read_write_mutex and related classes.</p> |
|---|
| 54 | <p>The documentation was written by William E. Kempf. Beman Dawes |
|---|
| 55 | provided additional documentation material and editing. |
|---|
| 56 | Mike Glassford finished William Kempf's conversion of the documentation to |
|---|
| 57 | BoostBook format and added a number of new sections.</p> |
|---|
| 58 | <p>Discussions on the boost.org mailing list were essential in the |
|---|
| 59 | development of <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Thread</strong></span> |
|---|
| 60 | . As of August 1, 2001, participants included Alan Griffiths, Albrecht |

| 81 | As of February 2006 Anthony Williams and Roland Schwarz took over maintainance |
