libcds v2.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-01-06 // over 8 years ago
  • General release
    - Added: FeldmanHashSet/Map - an interesting hash map algorithm
      based on multi-level array, requires perfect hashing or fixed-sized keys.
      Supports thread-safe bidirectional iterators.
    - Added: BronsonAVLTreeMap - Bronson's et al AVL tree implementation
    - Added: CMake build script, thanks to Eugeny Kalishenko
    - Changed: SplitList performance improving, thanks to Mike Krinkin
    - Changed: semantic of member functions extract(), get() and its
      variants for MichaelList RCU-based specialization: extract() does not
      require RCU locking, get() now returns special wrapper object of type raw_ptr,
      see doc.
      Thus, semantics of extract()/get() of all RCU-based set and maps based on 
      MichaelList (MichaelSet/Map, SplitListSet/Map) has been changed too.
    - Changed: SplitListSet/Map functions get() and get_with() return special wrapper
      object of type raw_ptr, see doc.
    - Removed: SplitListSet/Map force_dispose() function.
    - cds::lock namespace is renamed to cds::sync. All classes defined in cds::lock namespace 
      are moved to cds::sync with new names (for example, cds:: lock ::SpinLock is renamed to
      cds::sync::spin_lock). cds::lock namespace and its contents is deprecated, it is kept 
      for backward compatibility.
    - The library has been checked by ThreadSanitizer, a lot of bugs has been fixed
    - Added support for clang 3.7 with libc++
