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. Those are bugfix releases for stable-0.7 and stable-0.8 branches. Small fixes to the tests (volatile in assert() and out of tree test fix) were not backported to stable-0.7 due to important changes to the test tree layout between 0.7 and 0.8. Changelog: 2015-09-09 Userspace RCU 0.7.15 * Disable sys_membarrier * uatomic: Specify complete types for atomic function calls * Fix: handle sys_futex() FUTEX_WAIT interrupted by signal * Fix: compat_futex.c: *uaddr should be read as volatile * Fix: call_rcu_thread() affinity failure * urcu: fix deprecation warning with new glibc 2015-09-09 Userspace RCU 0.8.8 * Disable sys_membarrier * Fix: volatile in assert() * uatomic: Specify complete types for atomic function calls * Fix: handle sys_futex() FUTEX_WAIT interrupted by signal * Fix: compat_futex.c: *uaddr should be read as volatile * Fix: make benchmark test run in oot build * Fix: call_rcu_thread() affinity failure * urcu: fix deprecation warning with new glibc Project website: http://liburcu.org Git repository: git://git.liburcu.org/urcu.git -- Mathieu Desnoyers EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
