For what its worth, I took a quick look at boost yesterday. I found four problems with their threading and synchronization code in about 15 minutes. I don't believe Boost gets the same scrutiny from the same caliber of folks that other projects, such as OpenSSL GDB, and GCC do. > As I said, I don't have anything fancy, it is just simple c++ code, with > opening files, and reading files, and maybe renaming some files, and that is > about it.

Its a free download at http://developer.apple.com/xcode/ (and might already be installed).
