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 mainly a bugfix release, with noteworthy changes: - Adds GNU Hurd support, - Bumps the library current version and age because we added missing destroy functions for queues and stacks, - Quite a few MacOS X support fixes. Changelog: 2016-11-30 Userspace RCU 0.9.3 * Fix: rcutorture: work-around signal issue on mac os x * Fix: rcutorture should register thread using call_rcu * Fix: remove AC_FUNC_MALLOC from configure.ac * Fix: update ax_pthread macro to handle newer clang * Update library current version due to adding destroy API * Fix: Use pthread_self to get threadid on OSX * Fix: examples: use destroy API for queues/stacks * Update library age due to new stack/queue destroy API * Fix: tests: invoke destroy APIs for queues/stacks * Fix: add missing destroy functions to queues/stack APIs * Fix: add missing __cds_wfcq_init for LGPL API * Fix: memory leak on hash table destroy * Fix: Add failover for platforms without nproc * Fix: use clock_get_time for caa_get_cycles fallback on MacOSX * Fix: syscall-compat.h MacOSX support * Fix: Add solaris-build.md to dist * Port: build shared libraries in Cygwin * Port: fix compatibility header for Cygwin * Add GNU Hurd support to syscall-compat.h * Add support for aarch64_be * Fix: urcu-bp: re-initialize list head on library exit * Fix: examples make distcheck failure Project website: http://liburcu.org Git repository: git://git.liburcu.org/urcu.git -- Mathieu Desnoyers EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
