hello helge,
great to hear ... checking the specific commit, it seems that the integration into the boost infrastructure (doc/testfarm etc) is still missing ... please compare with r79196, the specific commit for boost.lockfree.
thanks for the pointer, will fix it, and if you notice anything else, just write so I can fix it ASAP
i wonder, what is the current state of boost.atomic regarding interprocess communication?
if BOOST_ATOMIC_*_LOCK_FREE==2, then the corresponding data type is interprocess-safe (this behaviour is only recommended for std::atomic, but not guaranteed) as per the suggestion during review I have implemented a partially specialized template representing the *_LOCK_FREE macros to allow implementing an "interprocess_atomic" that is safe independent from the data type (as long as atomic_flag is safe, of course) -- this is however not in svn yet regards Helge
