------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove pthread library support and use std::thread or
boost::thread
Key: THRIFT-4514
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4514
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ - Library
Affects Versions: 0.11.0
Reporter: James E. King, III
Assignee: James E. King, III
We have a pretty awful thread class implementation:
1. The build system compiles in the right files to implement the class
definition.
2. We support three thread libraries.
I want to simplify this, tremendously, to:
A. Remove the pthread implementation.
B. Dynamically select the thread class the same way we select which smart_ptr
to use (in stdcxx, if you're curious).
C. Have one thread class implementation.
D. Remove the WITH_STDTHREADS build time option as it will no longer be
necessary.
E. Continue to allow someone to force use of boost threads even in C++11 if
they really want to.
In short:
* Support std::thread for C++11 or later
* Support boost::thread for C++98
* Drop support for native pthreads
We have a lot of branches and test conditionals that do special things with
different thread implementations. We need to simplify and move forward.
Any objections?
