First of all I would like to thank for the comments that I have received so far, I have incorporated almost all of them I think. Boost.Atomic is now in a form that I consider calling it a release. It has support for "true" atomic variables on:
- gcc/x86, 32-bit (tested on Linux, FreeBSD) - gcc/x86, 64-bit (tested on Linux) - gcc/powerpc32 (tested on Linux, Mac OS X) - gcc/powerpc64 (untested) - generic Win32 (tested with Visual Studio Express on Win XP)
For all others it falls back gracefully to locked operation. There is proper quickbook documentation, including a hopefully illustrative example section. If you have an unsupported platform, contact me and I will attempt to provide support for it (usually it is just a matter of testing).
Hi Helge, I will have a look at merging my ARM implementation with this ASAP. git-foo is probably the hardest part. One thing I mentioned before, which doesn't seem to have changed in this version, is your use of reinterpret_cast rather than const_cast in cases like this: *reinterpret_cast<volatile T *>(&i)=v; I suggested that this should be const_cast<volatile T&>(i)=v. Any thoughts? (Anyone else?) Cheers, Phil.
