Hello,
Any interests in a boost asynchronous concurrency library based on Cw and Join Calculus?
Boost.Join follows Cw's design and supports lock-free concurrent design with a few abstractions:
Is it really lock free? I see you are using boost::mutex, and I see no atomic ops. Unless you are cleverly using boost::shared_ptr for some kind of lock free queue, I can't see how this is truly lock free ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-free_and_wait-free_algorithms). May be you meant something else lock-free or you still plan to do a lock free implementation.
Comments, suggestions and corrections are highly appreciated!
I've only done a cursory look at it, but it seems very interesting. I've downloaded it and plan to try it soon. gpd
