Ok, now the tricky question, Judiging from the comments on comp.programming.threads, looks like almost everything that falls under lock free is patented. Is the refcount code definitely patent encumbered or there is a reasonable chance that it could be used without falling in the patent swamp? What about the rest of appcore (I would love to use a lockfree thread queue)? And then, what about the license? I suppose you have the intention of releasing at least the refcount code under the boost license, what about the rest of appcore? other than that, great job, I'm definitely not an expert in lock free programming and wouldn't touch the implementation not even with a 100 meters staff, but I would definitely be an user . gpd On 10/24/06, Chris Thomasson <cristom@comcast.net> wrote:
Here is a link to a pre-alpha rough draft of some documentation I created that attempts to describe every C API that my currently prototype library exposes:
http://appcore.home.comcast.net/vzoom/refcount/doc/
I am going to be steadily adding to this initial documentation over the next week or so. Documentation that covers the C++ API is coming shortly...
Well, what do you think of my initial docs on the C API everybody? You think that they are off to a fairly good start?
;^)
Anyway, any comments/questions/tips/tricks/criticisms are encouraged and will be highly appreciated!
Thank You,
