RWRecMutex deprecated - reason? alternatives?

Hi,

I've seen that the RWRecMutex is deprecated and want to know why you have set that flag? Are there any unresolved bugs in it? or is it replaced with another mutex?

I am asking because I need a reader-writer-mutex with writer-priority and don't want to run into trouble.
If there is no replacement and there are bugs in it I will need to code my own RWRecMutex.

    We deprecated it because Ice for C++ doesn't use it internally, and because providing a full-featured threading library is out of the scope of Ice for C++. If you need more than the basic thread abstraction library that Ice for C++ provides, you could have a look at the boost threading library.
