Hi Bob, Bob Walters wrote:
Right now, the interaction between the containers and the rest of the transactional infrastructure is based off an approach inspired by the stasis library (http://tardis.cs.berkeley.edu/stasis/developers/html/main.html). There is a concept of a transactionally aware object. As modifiers on transactionally aware objects are called, those objects post 'TransactionalOperations' onto the transaction passed to them. These ops represent the means by which the transaction can ultimately commit or rollback that operation when the time comes.
Can you comment on the performance of this compared to a regular std::map<> or other data structure? One potential benefit of memory mapping - compared to e.g. an SQL database connection - is that you should be able to get performance very close to regular "in-application" data access. Regards, Phil.
