<title>Configuration</title>
<para>&Boost.Threads; uses several configuration macros in <boost/config.hpp>,
as well as configuration macros meant to be supplied by the application. These
macros are documented here.

<title>Library Defined Public Macros</title>
<para>
These macros are defined by &Boost.Threads; but are expected to be used
by application code.

<row>
<entry>BOOST_HAS_THREADS</entry>
<entry>
Indicates that threading support is available. This means both that there
is a platform specific implementation for &Boost.Threads; and that
threading support has been enabled in a platform specific manner. For instance,
on the Win32 platform there's an implementation for &Boost.Threads;
but unless the program is compiled against one of the multithreading runtimes
(often determined by the compiler predefining the macro _MT) the BOOST_HAS_THREADS
macro remains undefined.
