McKenney" , Lai Jiangshan , Stephen Hemminger , Alan Stern List-Id: lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. 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 bugfix-only release. Changelog: 2013-09-06 Userspace RCU 0.7.8 * Fix: hash table growth (for small tables) should be limited * Document build work-around on MacOS X * Fix tests: use of uninitialized variables * tests: add missing unsigned long casts to pthread_self() Project website: http://lttng.org/urcu Download link: http://lttng.org/files/urcu/ -- Mathieu Desnoyers EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
