You mean lock free? Because if I understood well the updated containers with c++11 standard will be thread safe because of the definition of const.
const container objects can be accessed safely once constructed, but not non-const containers accessed through a const reference or pointer. My understanding is that this have nothing to do with the internal concurrency safety mechanism of standard containers. Anyway a lockfree associative container would be great and (if a stable and efficient thread-pool implementation was also available) would allow me to remove TBB from my dependencies. Joel Lamotte
