\r
12 The Concurrent Data Structures (CDS) library is a collection of concurrent containers
\r
13 that don't require external (manual) synchronization for shared access, and safe memory reclamation (SMR)
\r
14 algorithms like [Hazard Pointer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_pointer)
\r
15 and user-space [RCU](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update) that is used as an epoch-based SMR.
\r
17 CDS is mostly header-only template library. Only SMR core implementation is segregated to .so/.dll file.
\r
19 The library contains the implementations of the following containers:
\r
20 - [lock-free](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm) stack with optional elimination support
\r
21 - several algo for lock-free queue, including classic Michael & Scott algorithm and its derivatives,
\r
22 the flat combining queue, the segmented queue.
\r
23 - several implementation of unordered set/map - lock-free and fine-grained lock-based
\r
24 - [flat-combining](http://mcg.cs.tau.ac.il/projects/projects/flat-combining) technique
\r
25 - lock-free [skip-list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list)
\r
26 - lock-free FeldmanHashMap/Set [Multi-Level Array Hash](http://samos-conference.com/Resources_Samos_Websites/Proceedings_Repository_SAMOS/2013/Files/2013-IC-20.pdf)
\r
27 with thread-safe bidirectional iterator support
\r
28 - Bronson's et al algorithm for fine-grained lock-based AVL tree
\r
30 Generally, each container has an intrusive and non-intrusive (STL-like) version belonging to
\r
31 *cds::intrusive* and *cds::container* namespace respectively.
\r
33 Version 2.x of the library is written on C++11 and can be compiled by GCC 4.8+, clang 3.6+, Intel C++ 15+,
\r
34 and MS VC++ 12 (2013) Update 4 and above
\r
36 Download the latest release from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcds/files/

40 Evolution of libcds (Gource visualization by Landon Wilkins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHaJvVdmJ0w
\r
43 - *nix: [use CMake](build/cmake/readme.md)
\r
44 - Windows: use MS Visual C++ 2015 project
\r
46 Some parts of libcds may depend on DCAS (double-width compare-and-swap) atomic primitive if
\r
47 the target architecture supports it. For x86, cmake build script enables `-mcx16` compiler flag that
\r
48 switches DCAS support on. You may manually disable DCAS support with the following command line flags
\r
49 in GCC/clang (for MS VC++ compiler DCAS is not supported):
\r
50 - `-DCDS_DISABLE_128BIT_ATOMIC` - for 64bit build
\r
51 - `-DCDS_DISABLE_64BIT_ATOMIC` - for 32bit build
\r
53 **All your projects AND libcds MUST be compiled with the same flags - either with DCAS support or without it.**
\r
56 **Pull request requirements**
\r
57 - Pull-request to *master* branch will be unconditionally rejected
\r
58 - *integration* branch is intended for pull-request. Usually, *integration* branch is the same as *master*
\r
59 - *dev* branch is intended for main developing. Usually, it contains unstable code
