Re: [boost] lock free data structures

Would there be any interest in a lock free implmentation of common data structures. The goal would be to preserve the integrity of the data in a multi-threaded environment without the use of locks. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-free_and_wait-free_algorithms for more information.

Perhaps a lock-free implementation of the STL might be a good idea?

There would be lot of interest, for sure. Recently, comp.programming.threads have had several discussions on this topic as well as links to existing libraries. (One example: http://appcore.home.comcast.net/) /Pavel
