> Key: LOGCXX-551

> Project: Log4cxx

> Reporter: Nicholas Clark

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.13.0

>
> There was a recent approach to detecting if boost' implementation is needed,
> but I feel that it is not succinct and cannot be when it comes to linker
> issues. Referencing PR:
> [https://github.com/apache/logging-log4cxx/pull/107.|https://github.com/apache/logging-log4cxx/pull/107]
> I have large applications that use shared_mutex, but require boost'
> implementation as not all components linked are able to use C+\+17
> implementation at this time. A problem occurs during linkage when log4cxx is
> built using C+\+17's implementation but our other component is built using
> boost' implementation.
>
> *Workaround:*
> We currently can force cmake into using Boost' implementation by passing:
> {code:java}
> -DSTD_SHARED_MUTEX_FOUND=0{code}
> This isn't a documented 'feature'. I would like a documented approach to
> this. If -DSTD_SHARED_MUTEX_FOUND=0 is what we should use for this feature
> request, then it should be documented as such. I am putting forth this issue
> as current usage is not documented as supported and thus I suspect it may be
> lost in future commits.
