[jira] Created: (STDCXX-563) split up rw/_mutex.h

split up rw/_mutex.h
--------------------

                 Key: STDCXX-563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-563
             Project: C++ Standard Library
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: Martin Sebor
             Fix For: 4.2.1


The internal header <rw/_mutex.h> has become too big and hard to maintain. It would be an improvement to split it up into multiple headers, one for each supported implementation of threads, along the lines of what was done with the <rw/_config.h> header in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=382600. This is too big to do for 4.2 but simple enough that it could go in 4.2.1.

[jira] Commented: (STDCXX-563) split up rw/_mutex.h

Posted by "Martin Sebor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-563:
-------------------------------------

A few things to consider:

1. The long term goal should be to eliminate the dependency of our headers on any particular implementation of the thread library and abstract everything under a common (stdcxx-only) interface.

2. Another long term goal should be to eliminate the binary incompatibility between reentrant (thread-safe) and ordinary builds.

3. In the meantime, does it make sense to introduce platform-specific subdirectories into the include directory (along the same lines as what we have under src/) or should we follow the _config.h approach taken in rev 382600 (i.e., append a suffix to the basename of the _mutex.h header)?
