3 - Added: FeldmanHashSet/Map - an interesting hash map algorithm
4 based on multi-level array, requires perfect hashing or fixed-sized keys.
5 Supports thread-safe bidirectional iterators.
6 - Added: BronsonAVLTreeMap - Bronson's et al AVL tree implementation
7 - Added: CMake build script, thanks to Eugeny Kalishenko
8 - Changed: SplitList performance improving, thanks to Mike Krinkin
9 - Changed: semantic of member functions extract(), get() and its
10 variants for MichaelList RCU-based specialization: extract() does not
11 require RCU locking, get() now returns special wrapper object of type raw_ptr,
13 Thus, semantics of extract()/get() of all RCU-based set and maps based on
14 MichaelList (MichaelSet/Map, SplitListSet/Map) has been changed too.
15 - Changed: SplitListSet/Map functions get() and get_with() return special wrapper
16 object of type raw_ptr, see doc.
17 - Removed: SplitListSet/Map force_dispose() function.
18 - cds::lock namespace is renamed to cds::sync. All classes defined in cds::lock namespace
19 are moved to cds::sync with new names (for example, cds::lock::SpinLock is renamed to
20 cds::sync::spin_lock). cds::lock namespace and its contents is deprecated, it is kept
21 for backward compatibility.
22 - The library has been checked by ThreadSanitizer, a lot of bugs has been fixed
23 - Added support for clang 3.7 with libc++
27 - the library has been rewritten to support at least C++11. Compilers: GCC 4.8+, clang 3.3+,
28 MS Visual C++ 12 (2013) Update 4 an above.
29 - Removed: MichaelDeque, reason: the implementation is heavy-weighted, inefficient,
31 - Removed: cds::gc::HRC garbage collector, reason: the implementation is inefficient
33 - Changed: all container's declaration except StripedSet has been unified to the
34 following traits-based form:
35 class Container< GC, T, Traits >
36 - Added: new member function pop_with(Func) to cds::container::TreiberStack
37 - Added: new member functions enqueue_with(Func), dequeue_with(Func) to
38 cds::container::MSQueue
39 cds::container::MoirQueue
40 cds::container::BasketQueue
41 cds::container::OptimisticQueue
42 cds::container::RWQueue
43 cds::container::SegmentedQueue
44 cds::container::TsigasCycleQueue
45 cds::container::VyukovMPMCCycleQueue
46 - Added: new member functions push_with(Func) and pop_with(Func) to cds::container::MSPriorityQueue
47 - SegmentedQueue: add padding into segmented_queue::traits to eliminate false sharing.
48 - Changed: guarded_ptr and exempt_ptr have move semantics now. The container's extract() and get()
49 member functions return the objects of that type.
50 - Changed: improved cds::gc::HP and cds::gc::DHP internal implementation
51 - Changed: map member function insert_key() has been renamed to insert_with()
52 - Changed: cds/cxx11_atomic.h has been renamed to cds/algo/atomic.h
53 - Removed: cds/refcounter.h
57 - Add flat combining (FC) technique and FC-based containers: FCStack, FCQueue,
58 FCDeque, FCPriorityQueue
59 - Add elimination back-off feature to TreiberStack class
60 - Add SegmentedQueue - an unfair queue implementation
61 - New member functions for sets and maps:
62 Functions get() and get_with() search a key and return the pointer to item found
64 Function extract() searches a key, unlinks the item found from the container
65 and returns pointer to item in safe manner.
66 The functions get, get_with, extract, extract_with extract_min, extract_max
67 has been added to the following container:
68 SkipListSet, SkipListMap
69 EllenBinTree, EllenBinTreeSet, EllenBinTreeMap
70 The functions get, get_with, extract, extract_with has been added
71 to the following container:
73 MichaelHashSet, MichaelHashMap
74 SplitListSet, SplitListMap
75 - Fix a serious bug in cds::gc::HRC
76 - Changed MSPriorityQueue to simplify interface and to fix possible pop() deadlock
77 - Fix a bug in BasketQueue
78 - Fix EllenBinTree crash under high contention
79 - Changed: the thread manager detach order to prevent crashing of signal-handled RCU
81 - Changed: cds::gc::HP calls Scan() when a thread is detached.
82 This prevents accumulating retired data.
83 - Changed: minimal boost version is 1.51
84 - Removed: file cds/lock/rwlock.h
88 1. Added: EllenBinTree - an implementation of unbalanced binary search
89 tree based on paper [2010] F.Ellen, P.Fatourou, E.Ruppert, F.van Breugel
90 "Non-blocking Binary Search Tree".
91 2. Added: MSPriorityQueue - an array-based lock-based priority queue heap,
92 see [1996] G.Hunt, M.Michael, S. Parthasarathy, M.Scott "An efficient
93 algorithm for concurrent priority queue heaps"
94 3. Added support for boost.atomic for boost 1.54 and above.
95 Now, libcds supports processor architecture like ARM, PowerPC and any other
96 that are supported by boost.atomic or by C++11 compiler. Any feedbacks are appreciated.
97 To use boost.atomic you should specify -DCDS_USE_BOOST_ATOMIC in compiler's command line.
98 4. Added: a new CDS_USE_LIBCDS_ATOMIC preprocessor flag has been added to direct
99 the compiler to use libcds atomic unconditionally.
100 5. build.sh has been modified to relax processor architecture and OS requirements.
101 This allows to use libcds with native compiler atomic support (or boost.atomic)
102 for a processor architecture that has not been tested by libcds's developers.
103 6. Added support for CLang 3.3
104 7. Added support for MS VC++ 2013
105 8. Added support for Mac OS X, see build/sample/build-osx-clang-libc++.sh,
106 build/sample/build-osx-gcc.sh for example.
107 9. Fixed: SkipListSet::erase_with does not take into account "less" predicate parameter.
108 10.Fixed: some bugs in SkipListSet leading to deadloop
109 11.Fixed: MichaelMap bug: computing hash value for type Q different from key type.
113 1. Added: user-space RCU garbage collector (5 different implementations),
114 see cds::urcu namespace
115 2. Added: RCU-related set/map container specializations
116 3. Added: Skip-list specialization for cds::gc::nogc (undeletable skip-list)
117 4. For set/map classes: find_with and erase_with member functions have been added.
118 These functions allow to use different predicates for searching.
119 5. Added: threading model based on Ñ++11 thread_local keyword (CDS_THREADING_CXX11).
120 At present, only gcc 4.8 supports such model.
121 6. Fixed: bug #11 "ABA bug in libcds 1.3.1 cds/intrusive/msqueue.h"
122 Thanks to Jelle van den Hooff.
123 7. Added support for GCC 4.8
127 - Bug fixed: building libcds with boost versions before 1.48
128 Thanks Lucas Larsch who points me to this problem.
132 1. Added: StripedSet, StripedMap - hash set and hash map
133 implementation based on fine-grained lock-striping technique
134 2. Added: CuckooSet, CuckooMap - implementation of cuckoo hashing algorithm
135 based on fine-grained lock-striping technique
136 3. Added: SkipListSet, SkipListMap - implementation of lock-free skip list
137 4. Added: template <typename... Args> emplace(Args&&... args) member function
138 for all containers in cds::container namespace. This function is available
139 only if the compiler supports new C++11 features - variadic
140 templates and move semantics.
141 5. Changed: lambda functions are used internally instead of wrapping functors.
142 If the compiler does not support C++11 lambdas the old-style wrapping functors are used.
143 6. Changed: test projects has been splitted for optimizing compile time.
144 7. Breaking change: class cds::lock::Auto has been renamed to cds::lock::scoped_lock,
145 class cds::lock::AutoUnlock has been removed
146 8. Added: support for MinGW (tested with TDM-GCC 64bit, gcc 4.7)
148 1.2.0 20.08.2012 (beta)
150 1. Added: MichaelDeque - deque lock-free algo discovered by Maged Michael
151 2. Added: BasketQueue - Michael's queue modification discovered by Nir Shavit et al.
152 3. Added: support of Clang 3.0, 3.1 compiler (tested on Linux with boost 1.49)
153 4. Fixed: solving problem of 8-byte atomic data alignment on 32-bit platforms
154 5. Fixed bug 3536393: OptimisticQueue core dump
156 1.1.0 17.04.2012 (beta)
158 1. Added: C++11 atomic operations support. The library has been rewritten
159 for using std::atomic class and operations proposed in C++11 Standard.
160 If the compiler does not support the standard <atomic> library,
161 own partial implementation declared in cds/cxx11_atomic.h is used.
162 cxx11_atomic.h contains implementation for lock-free part of C++11
163 <atomic> header needed for libcds.
164 2. Added: support for C++11 feature (if applicable):
165 - inline namespace (for GCC 4.4+)
166 - function =default and =delete specifiers (for GCC 4.4+)
167 3. Changed: the main reclamation cycle ("liberate" function) of cds::gc::PTB
168 memory reclamation schema has been optimized. Previous implementation
169 could lead to unbounded memory consumption under high contention.
170 4. Changed: the internal structure of cds::intrusive::OptimisticQueue is greatly simplified.
171 The interface of the class is slightly changed.
172 5. Fixed: some problem with cds::gc::HRC memory reclamation schema that
173 could be the cause of occasional program crash.
174 6. Fixed: an error in node reclamation algo in queue implementation (MSQueue, MoirQueue,
175 OptimisticQueue). As an result of the error, some items could be lost with memory leaks.
176 7. Changed: cds::concept namespace and its content has been removed
177 8. Added support for Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta
178 9. Added support for GCC 4.7
180 1.0.0 31.12.2011 (beta)
181 This version is completely rewritten to support intrusive version of lock-free containers
182 and more lightweight garbage collectors interface.
183 The class hierarchy and interfaces have been completely reimplemented from scratch.
185 1. Added: intrusive containers. Many lock-free containers in libcds have the intrusive
186 counterparts. The library is fully refactored to support intrusive containers.
187 Class hierarchy is changed: almost all non-intrusive container classes are based
188 on their intrusive versions.
189 Two new namespace is added:
190 cds::intrusive - for intrusive containers
191 cds::container - for non-intrusive containers
192 Namespaces by container type (cds::queue, cds::map and so on) have been removed.
193 2. Added: New option-based approach is used for class declaration instead
194 old traits-based one. This approach allows to declare template arguments
195 in position-independent manner that is very useful for complex template declarations.
196 Option-based declarations use C++0x variadic templates if compiler supports it (GCC),
197 otherwise (MS VC) an emulation is used.
198 3. Changed: garbage collectors interface is generalized. cds::gc::GC (where GC is
199 one of HP, HRC, PTB) classes has been added.
200 4. Removed: tagged pointer GC. This GC
201 - unsafe for complex data structure
202 - x86-specific since it requires double-width CAS primitive
203 - memory-consuming since it requires separate free-list for each type stored in the containers
204 5. Default threading model is changed (see doc for cds::threading namespace):
205 - for Windows and MSVC++, CDS_THREADING_WIN_TLS is the default now
206 - for *nix and GCC, CDS_THREADING_PTHREAD is the default now
207 6. Added GCC 4.6 support (constexpr)
208 7. Added Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (vc10) solution
210 0.8.0 28.03.2011 (beta)
211 1. Added: cds::Initialize and cds::Terminate functions that initializes and frees library's
213 2. Added: cds::memory::michael::Heap - Michael's lock-free allocator
214 3. Added: Exponential back-off strategy for spinning
215 4. Added: cds::queue::vyukov_mpmc_bounded - bounded queue
216 developed by Dmitry Vyukov (http://www.1024cores.net)
217 5. Added: support for FreeBSD amd64, x86
219 0.7.2 27.02.2011 (beta)
220 1. [Bug 3157201] Added implementation of threading manager based on Windows TLS API, see
221 cds::threading::wintls::Manager. Added CDS_THREADING_WIN_TLS macro. See docs for
222 cds::threading namespace for details.
223 2. Fixed bug in cds::threading::pthread::Manager: ptb_gc has not been initialized properly.
225 template <typename T, typename FUNC>
226 bool erase( const key_type& key, T& dest, FUNC func ) ;
227 has been added to all map classes.
229 template <typename T, typename FUNC>
230 bool insert( const key_type& key, T& val, FUNC func ) ;
231 has been added to all map classes.
232 5. Added new argument "bNew" to functor "func" of map's "ensure" member function:
233 void func( VALUE& itemValue, const VALUE& val, bool bNew ) ;
234 bNew = true if new item has been added
235 bNew = false if key is found
236 6. Fixed bug in cds::map::SplitOrderedList: LSB of dummy node's hash should be zero
237 7. Changed: thread liveliness checking on *nix has been changed to pthread_kill(id, 0).
238 8. Fixed: in map template member functions the functor may be passed by value
239 or by reference; use boost::ref( yourFunctor ) to pass your functor by reference
240 9. Fixed: cds::gc::tagged GC and all classes based on this GC has been rewritten
241 to solve stability problems.
243 0.7.1 30.12.2010 (beta)
244 1. [Bug 3130852] cds::queue::TZCyclicQueue::empty() has been corrected
245 2. [Bug 3128161] It seems, GCC 4.4 has a bug in __thread on x86 and x86_64. New "threading model"
246 CDS_THREADING_AUTODETECT has been added. See docs of cds::threading namespace for details
247 3. Fixed errors in the "Pass-the-Buck" garbage collector (namespace cds::gc::ptb)
248 4. [Bug 3128148] The code is aligned with the C++ standard (minor violations has been removed)
249 5. [Bug 3141654] missing break statement for atomic store - fixed
250 6. Added in-place scan strategy to cds::gc::hzp::GarbageCollector that does not allocate any memory.
251 7. Fixed bugs in HRC and tagged GC
253 0.7.0 05.12.2010 (beta)
254 1. Preliminary support for "Pass The Buck" memory manager is added. See cds::gc::ptb namespace.
255 2. Many part of library is rewritten to generalize the usage of various GCs
256 3. The new class cds::details::aligned_allocator has been added for allocating aligned memory
257 blocks. It is useful for Tagged Pointer memory reclamation schema (cds::gc::tagged_gc).
258 4. [Break change] New argument has been added to the member functions "ensure" and "find"
259 for ordered list and map classes
260 5. New member function "emplace" has been added to ordered list and map classes. This member function
261 allows change the value (or a part of it) of list/map item.
262 6. The internal structure of class cds::map::MichaelHashMap is completely refactored to support
263 cds::gc::no_gc correctly
264 7. The classes RecursiveSpinT, RecursiveSpin32, RecursiveSpin64, and RecursiveSpin from cds::lock
265 namespace have been renamed to ReentrantSpinT, ReentrantSpin32, ReentrantSpin64, and ReentrantSpin
267 8. Compiler support: GCC version below 4.3.0 is not supported
268 9. Fixed memory leak in cds::map::SplitOrderedList
269 10. Added compiler barrier to spin-lock release primitive for x86 and amd64
270 11. Makefile script is changed to resolve the problem when an user calls 'make clean' directly.
271 Thanks to Tamas Lengyel to point me to this bug.
272 12. The file dictionary.txt is excluded from distributive. This file is used for testing purposes only.
273 You may create dictionary.txt in this way:
277 0.6.0 26.03.2010 (beta)
278 1. The library is rewritten using atomic primitives with explicit memory ordering (based on C++
279 memory model proposal). The implementation of atomic primitives for supported architectures
280 is developed from scratch.
283 0.5.0 31.12.2009 (beta)
