This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible. liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues, stacks, and doubly-linked lists. This is a minor compatibility-related release, fixing build issues with FreeBSD and NetBSD. On Linux, only the test_perthreadlock fix could change the result of make check (which could previously fail due to non-initialized mutexes), but it does not impact anything installed on the system. Changelog: 2012-06-01 Userspace RCU 0.7.3 * Fix tests: make dist lib dependency * Update README for OS supported, tests dependency * Add CodingStyle to tarball * Add coding style document * Test fix: test_perthreadlock uninitialized mutex * tests: support FreeBSD short "time" args * freebsd 8.2 fix: define MAP_ANONYMOUS for compatibility Project website: http://lttng.org/urcu Download link: http://lttng.org/files/urcu/ -- Mathieu Desnoyers Operating System Efficiency R&D Consultant EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
