I've concidered using it in a couple of my
projects, there were two
main reasons for me not to use it:
1. Its more than I need, and more than I understand: While it seems a
fantastic library, I only needed x-thread communication so it was
overkill for the goal at hand. (That said, I long for some of its
features now... :)
2. Its licence. I don't know what I want to do with the project I'm
working on once its done, partial release, GPL release, name it. So
using any GPL library is a no-go for me atm.
If you want to use it but the license is a problem, I can be convinced
to change it to LGPL3+. I simply default to GPL (as IMO everyone
should) in the absence of specific arguments why that is not best in a
given scenario.
It never hurts to ask ;)
That said, the library seems a lot more feature
complete than the
current code I have for the same functions, so there's something to
say for the efforts Dave Robbillard put into the library. Also in my
experience of librarys DR they're of high standard and I found no
bugs.
Why thank you :)
(Raul does have some dusty corners, though)
