Also, does anyone know of (or would like to invent) some standardese for discussing threading issues like thread safety and memory visibility?
There is going to be an informal meeting of C++ committee members and threading experts in Redmond, Washington, US, August 23-25 for the sole purpose of making some progress on language changes needed to support threading. It would be helpful to me if Chris and other Boosters could get together a list before then of the minimal core language definitions, changes, and other specifications that library developers need to specify reliable libraries in a multi-threaded environment. What is needed isn't a laundry list of wishes and dreams, but a very minimalist list of hard-core needs. Thanks, --Beman
