Now, without knowing anything about how ctor, dtor, push and pop are implemented, what can be done? Adding allocator as a parameter just like a std::container;
beside using an stl-style allocator it might makes sense to use a caching free-list ...
perhaps making a version that includes a monitor (so that pop blocks rather than returns false) and so forth.
i would be careful with that ... one would need to make sure, that the monitor/semaphore implementation is lock-free itself ... cheers, tim -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org There's no such entity as "most people".
