Table 39.6. C++ Latches and Barriers Conformance

Section

Description

X.1

Class latch

Partial

A new class latch has been added. The interface is a super set of the one of the proposal, taking some of the functions of the class barrier.

X.2

Class barrier

No

Even if Boost.Thread has a class boost:barrier it doesn't provides the same kind of services. There is an experimental completion_latch that could be used instead.
