This is a outstanding blog post, I found your web page searching aol for a related subject matter and came to this. I couldnt find to much other info on this summary, so it was pleasant to find this one. I probably will be returning to check out some other posts that you have another time.

I do not know how easy(viable) it is to use Boost for console development, but from what (little) I know about it, it covers some of those issues.

# Creating and synchronizing threads in a platform-agnostic way (also in C++0x)
# Basic archiving of data to / from flat files

Actually we had some thread deadlocking issues with sleeping threads on the concurrent vector class, so we just ended up rolling our own solution with win32 threads and semaphores.

Regarding Intel TBB library, is its GPL licence a problem ?

I crossed a rant on this topic on John Ratcliff blog (http://codesuppository.blogspot.com/2009/01/intels-giant-screw-up-with-intel.html).

Couldn’t Intel TBB also handle the platform-agnostic threading ? or boost ? I’m involved in tools, but PC only, so I’m not familiar with console-related issues…

Cheers.
