@AntonBikineev: I had some work done for this here: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/tree/fixing_2471, but it crashed for me if a hpx-thread was moved to a different core. Have you seen similar problems?

[AntonBikineev]

@hkaiser I don't know, tests seemed to work fine on my laptop :)

[AntonBikineev]

@hkaiser I hadn't seen your patch. I think this can be closed then

[hkaiser]

@AntonBikineev if your PR works we should go ahead with it. The branch I referred to does not properly work.

[AntonBikineev]

@hkaiser Do hpx tests cover the situation with moving hpx-threads?

[hkaiser]

@AntonBikineev we don't have explicit tests, but for me the problem showed up by just running hello_world with --hpx::threads=N, where N > 1.

Also, inspect does not like your PR: https://6607-4455628-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/tmp/circle-artifacts.qtJDgAu/hpx_inspect_report.html

@hkaiser I haven't observed this problem neither on mac nor linux. Maybe it was fixed by some another PR...

[AntonBikineev]

@hkaiser BTW, can I setup CI to use a specific boost version?

Not easily...

LGTM, thanks a lot!

I might have misunderstood. Did you mean on circleci? or on our buildbot?

[AntonBikineev]

hm, I don't know, on any of those :)

@AntonBikineev you might want to get in contact with @Hapoo (Alireza), he can help setting something up on buildbot.
