Azerothcore-wotlk: Core/Threading: Rewrite Threading system [$150]

[Yehonal]

I open this issue to keep trace of the status for threading system rewriting

In few words we need to switch from ACE to c++11 libraries ( not boost )

cmangos do it 1 year ago with following main commits:

• [ ] thread rewriting
• [x] atomic types
• [ ] mutexes and locks

I hope someone can help

any news?

People are still deciding if we need boost or not for sockets. There's a discussion going on about C++11 vs Boost. Right @FrancescoBorzi

[Eliminationzx]

My suggestion - AzerothCore should support boost.
This will allow us to easily import some commits from TrinityCore and also boost have many features that we can use for code optimization. But it will require a lot of work...

[FrancescoBorzi]

I'm not against Boost. My opinion is just to use standard modern C++ wherever possible instead of other libs. I understand this is not always easy or possible so in some cases we might still need Boost and/or another lib to replace ACE.

Don't need a boost like that in trinity. Only for some elements

[Viste]

with C++14 i think boost not needed at al
