This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiple 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 bugfix-only release. With the new release of Userspace RCU 0.9.0, this means the stable-0.7 liburcu branch has reached end of life, and 0.7.16 will therefore be the last release of that branch. You are encouraged to upgrade to the latest 0.8.x or 0.9.x versions of liburcu. Changelog: 2015-10-16 Userspace RCU 0.7.16 * Fix: format string signedness * Use gcc atomics on aarch64/powerpc64le * Fix: compat_futex: uninitialized ret variable * Fix: compat_futex_noasync: don't override return value * Fix: stable-0.7 branch does not have syscall-compat.h * Fix: dynamic fallback to compat futex on sys_futex ENOSYS Project website: http://liburcu.org Git repository: git://git.liburcu.org/urcu.git -- Mathieu Desnoyers EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
