I am interested in exploring the transactional memory features of the new Intel processors (using the GCC transactional features described in [1]). To do so I created a simple implementation of a mutex using this post about futexes [2] as a guide.
I'm looking for feedback on the implementation, if anyone has a moment. It is just the mutex implementation, so comprises only about 100 lines of code: https://github.com/laslowh/tmutex/blob/master/mutex.c I would appreciate any comments you have, though I am particularly focused on correctness at this point, not performance. Thank you in advance. graham [1] https://3f993110-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/tmforcplusplus/C%2B%2BTransactionalConstructs-1.1.pdf [2] http://locklessinc.com/articles/mutex_cv_futex/ -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Scalable Synchronization Algorithms" group.
