>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0
>            Reporter: James E. King III

>            Priority: Major

> 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. Remove the boost thread implementation.
>  C. Rename the std thread implementation (StdThreadFactory) to ThreadFactory
>  D. Have one thread class implementation!
>  E. Remove the WITH_STDTHREADS build time option as it will no longer be necessary.
> In short:
>  * Support std::thread for C++11 or later
>  * Drop support for boost threads
>  * 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 to reduce the maintenance cost in this area.
> Any objections?
