@Arjun Ray: I have been doing similar things, but I would pass custom deleters to unique_ptrs. Not ideal maybe, but worked good enough in my case. I can agree that authors copied Java style a bit overzealously, but we have what we have. C API would be good, too, and IMHO it should not be that hard to provide it with the current codebase, though it might simply require a lot of typing.
Besides, regardless of its final shape I guess the project would benefit from simplifying it, e.g. by replacing platfrom-specific threads with std::thread. If the "javaisms" are to be reworked into modern C++ is a matter of taste, but if it's possible to be done step by step I guess it should be considered, especially now when the C++'s standard library has become way richer. @Mike thanks for information on how to contribute, hopefully it will become handy soon :) Best regards, Aleksander Miera
