UNCLASSIFIED Hi, Since Lockfree library (by Tim Blechmann) is in the review stage I have a comment to make. I only looked at the code just at a glance to check if it would be able to be used with Boost::Interprocess library, especially to be placed in the shared memory and to me it definitely doesn't seem to deduce the pointer types from the Allocation supplied as a template argument. For any container implementation to be useable with Interprocess shared memory the requirement is that any internal pointer types are not explicitly stated - instead they aggregate the pointer types from the Allocator's internal pointer typedefs. By this the container will use "smart" or plain pointers, whichever the Allocators specify/define. Good place to look at for how this should be done is <boost/interprocess/containers/map.hpp> and other containers' implementation in that location. Also the Interprocess documentation explains why, for instance, the std::map or std::vector containers are incorrectly (not generically enough) implemented and suggests a possibility of potential future corrections in STL implementations (that part is only speculative, of course). While in its current form it is already very useful in intra-process applications, I would consider the incompatiblity with Interprocess' shared memory a hugely missed opportunity. My recommendation would be to first to address this issue before accepting it for inclusion. Thank you all so much for the Boost - the best thing that happened to C++.
