Hello Tim, the lockfree_channel was my first attempt for a lockfree fifo and was only intended for some tests. I'm interessted in a boost lib of lockfree structures - I hope the boost community can help. regards, Oliver Am Monday 16 March 2009 01:04:34 schrieb Tim Blechmann:
hi oliver,
i just saw, that you checked in a lockfree fifo implementation to the boost sandbox. it looks like an implementation of the michael/scott queue, isn't it? if so, i suppose, you are missing a thread-safe memory reclamation mechanism ... some time ago, i wrote a boost-style implementation of this data structure, not sure, if you came across it [1] ... maybe it would make sense to join our efforts in implementing a lockfree queue and get it into boost?
best, tim
