Re: C++0x and Threads - a poor relation to Ada's tasking model?

I did follow the threading issues early on.
During the early discussions the decision was made to provide
a standard threading library rather than adding any new
reserved words to the language. This approach provided
minimum impact on existing software while providing significant
threading support. My objection, which was not considered
significant, was that the compilers have less information for
checking the correctness of library calls than they do of checking
the syntax of reserved words.
