While we are on the subject- is there any interest in a scalable lock-free data structures library? I have some code that works in x86 and x64 w/ vc++7.1 and gcc 4.1, but I'm not familiar enough with other compilers/architectures so I'd need some help with implementing them (should be very easy).

This would include thread-safe versions (which do not use a mutex) of a stack, queue, some simple freelist memory pools, and maybe a linked list.

Yes, I would personally be very interested in such a library. In particular, a portable lock-free queue would be extremely useful for my current project. -- -Matt Calabrese
