Thread class library based on C++11

Question

C++11 introduced <thread> in its standard draft. But MingGW-4.7 doesn't support it.

Is there any attempt to implement threads based on std::thread which covers the lack of MingGW-4.7 ?

I want use it in my project and after upgrading the compiler, I'll just replace it with standard C++11 thread library by minor changes.

What platform are you using? GCC 4.7 does support `std::thread`. — juanchopanza, Apr 09 '13 at 19:56
@MM. I think you need ported pthread libraries to use `` in MinGW-4.7. — Apples, Apr 09 '13 at 19:58
[The builds here](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/) support threads. — Jesse Good, Apr 09 '13 at 20:00

@AlexChamberlain: You mean it's possible to separate thread module? If it's possible and Boost's thread is based on std::thread. I'll use it. — masoud, Apr 09 '13 at 20:07
@MM.: The other way round I would say: Boost.Thread inspired std::thread. So you have quite a good chance that replacing `boost::` with `std::` will be everything you'll have to do after — Andy Prowl, Apr 09 '13 at 20:09

If you want to use std::thread with MinGW, user rubenvb keeps MinGW64 builds that have std::thread in Sourceforge

I'm using MinGW-builds. Choose compilers marked as 'posix-thread', they are implements C++11 multi-threading support with pthread library.
