Log message:
Import libatomic_ops-20081024 (version 1.2)
The latest code is only found in the boehm-gc CVS repository (see
Makefile.version for information). I had to take this from there,
as there were bug fixes.
This library was imported primarily for the [hopefully]
upcoming audio/pulseaudio package.
TODO: Add support for NetBSD atomic ops?
This package provides semi-portable access to hardware provided
atomic memory operations. These might allow you to write code:
- That does more interesting things in signal handlers.
- Makes more effective use of multiprocessors by allowing you to write
clever lock-free code. Note that such code is very difficult to get
right, and will unavoidably be less portable than lock-based code. It
ia also not always faster than lock-based code. But it may occasionally
be a large performance win.
- To experiment with new and much better thread programming paradigms, etc.
As the latest code for this library is only available via CVS, this package
provides a snapshot.
