Low Level

[cx500tc]

For object like Mutex and such the low level error returned by the function is lost making diagnostic difficult.

May I suggest something like:

int ret;
if ( ( ret = pthread_mutex_init(&_mutex, &attr) ) != EOK )
throw SystemException("cannot unlock named mutex", _name + " error code" + Poco::NumberFormatter::format( ret ));

You get the idea?

The best way to get a feature added (and not get discouraged by a lack of response) is to precisely articulate the request in the Sourceforge Feature Request tracking system.

While speculating about a feature and ways how to achieve it may be beneficial to some extent, in the end it must be fully specified and coded in order to materialize into a feature. And that requires time, which is the most scarce resource we have.

So, if you put together a coherent and specific request and submit a proof-of-concept code patch that works (preferably across supported platforms), your chances of getting what you want will be much higher.
