Re: [boost] boost atomic question

Actually you will only add problems if you do that. You need to use a concurrent container, not a classical containers with atomics variables.

If you do nothing but mutate the stored objects, then it should be fine without a concurrent container.

First, atomic is more expensive than you think, to convince yourself of this, benchmark the two following codes:

int i = 0; while(i < 10 * 1000 * 1000) ++i;

Will probably be optimized to nothing, so it's not really a good example.
