| "Rick C. Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Dec 28 08:03PM -0800 It's not popular in this world to remind people of this, but Hell is real. It is eternal. It is unending torment, and everyone who does not come to Jesus asking forgiveness for their sin will go there after they leave this world. Heaven is real. It is the place created by God for our eternal existence. It is a paradise by Earthly standards, where even the streets are paved with gold ... and how much more the truly precious things? You may not like this reminder, but you need to hear it. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, where you've come to Him asking forgiveness, and make Him the foremost consideration in your life ... then after you die you will enter into Hell. God teaches us this BEFORE we die so we have time and space to repent of our sin, ask forgiveness and be saved. All of your accomplishments, all of your contributions to this world, all of the people you've cared about, all of the things you've done ... all of it will come to nothing in the end. The only thing that will endure with you is your relationship with Christ, the things you did for Him, and the lives you've impacted by spreading word and knowledge of Him to others, so that they too might be saved. Today is the day for you to get right with God, to repent of YOUR sin, to ask for and receive forgiveness for all you've done, and to begin your new life living for Christ first, and all other things second. Eternity is only one heartbeat away. Do you want to spend it in eternal torment, or in something fit for God's own dwelling place... a true paradise with the maker of the universe. The choice is yours. Make it a good one. Jesus is ready, willing, able, and longing even, to forgive your sin. All you have to do is ask Him. You'll be set free in a way you never imagined that very moment. It will change your life from the inside out forever. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

That purpose extends beyond the confines of this Earthly life. We are creations made in God's own image. We have an eternal soul, we have a spirit component, and we have a physical body. These allow us to interact with the various dimensions God has created. However, because of Adam's sin, he died spiritually when he dis- obeyed God's one command that's recorded in the Bible, to not eat from the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil." Adam and his wife Eve did eat from that tree, and the Bible records Adam died and by his death did death pass on to all men. But the Bible also records Adam lived long after that day, and he lived to the age of 930 years old, and then he died. How can both accounts be true? How can Adam have died on the day he ate the fruit, but continue to live hundreds of years longer? One possibility is the use of the word "day" is something like "In my father's day," or "back in my day," which means not a literal 24-hour period, but rather something else like a general period of time. However, there is more revelation given in the Bible over time to convey the full meaning of what God meant when He taught us that on that day Adam died. We learn about the spirit nature, and how we are three-fold be- ings, just as God is and made us in His own image. He is God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, just as we are soul, body, spirit. He has an eternal soul nature (God the Father), and a physical presence nature (the Son, Jesus), and a spirit nature (His Holy Spirit). We likewise have these same three components, but be- cause of sin, our spirit nature (our eternal nature) is dead. How can our spirit nature be made alive again? To answer that, ask why our spirit nature died in the first place? It died when Adam sinned. So to bring our spirit nature back alive, our sin must be removed from us. This is where Jesus enters in. Jesus came to this world to live a sin-free life, to teach us about God and His Love, and to show us that love put into prac- tice by what He did for us at the cross. Picture for a moment that sin were visible. Each time we sinned our jacket got more and more dirty. We were born with a stained jacket from Adam's original sin, but as we pile on more sin it becomes more and more dirty. What Jesus does in this example can be likened to having a fully white spotless blemish-free jacket, and He offers to give us His jacket while taking our jacket upon Himself. That translates to Him taking on our sin, and leaving us sin-free. When Jesus takes that jacket upon Himself, He goes before God to pay the punishment of that sin, so that we don't have to. It's His gift poured out unto us by His towering Love. Jesus came to this world for this purpose. He came to set us free from the judgment of sin, from the punishment of sin, from us being lost to eternity by the enforcement of that judgment and punishment with our own soul being cast into Hell. We are each literally headed there right now, and God has made the way out for us. It is through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus at the cross, where a man, such as one of us, voluntariliy chose to take on our sin and die with it, so that we could be set free. Jesus does this for all who will put their faith and trust in Him, for all who come to Him with sincerity asking forgiveness and repenting. He will take their dirty jacket off, and give them a perfect spotless, blemish-free jacket, that will change the very nature of their existence, for it is in that self-same instant that the spirit comes alive, causing the sum total of each believer's existence to be altered from what it was before. The old person dies, and the new person comes alive because of the spirit nature. ----- The flesh cannot understand this transformation. It is only understood by the spirit. And many people reading this will not be able to understand what I'm talking about. But for those being drawn by God to salvation, you WILL know what I'm talking about, because God will supernaturally reach into your existence beyond your flesh, and perform a miracle to give you information you cannot know on your own. You will know on the inside that what I write to you is true, and that you DO need to come to Jesus and repent and ask forgiveness for your sin. If you can hear His voice, rejoice for joy. Jump up and down and shout it out loud because it is God Himself reaching into your life to save you. And pray for those around you who do not know Him, because we don't know which of the non-believers today will be drawn by God in the future to become the redeemed of Christ, to become our brothers and sisters in Christ. Remember God's love poured out on you while you were still a sinner, still following after the ways of the world, and re- member God's patience with you as you exhibit that same patience with others who do not yet believe. To all of my brothers and sisters in Christ, may God be with you. May He strengthen you. May He guide you to reach others that this incredible gift of salvation for free by God's own Love shown through His Son at the cross, may impact the lives of countless people around you, so that together we may all re- joice in God's mercy and grace, knowing that while we do indeed deserve Hell for our sin, that God's love overshadowed our own guilt and shame, taking it away so that we could be with Him where He is in Heaven. God loves you. He calls you into service. He calls you into repentance, to holiness, so that you can be effective in ser- vice to His Kingdom. Do not let the non-believers around you dissuade you. Keep your eyes and mind on the goal the Lord set out for you in your salvation, for in each non-believer that later became a believer, there was a time when they too were not yet a be- liever. Remember that and be patient with each of them. May God grow us all together. And to my Christian brothers and sisters, I look forward to meeting you when we get to the other side. :-) -- Rick C.

Go to a church where you know there are holy, loving people. Beware of many "false Christians" who will try to ensnare you with religion. Being born again is about having a relationship with Jesus Christ. It's not about doing the thing on Sunday, and Bible Study on Wednesday, and maybe a mis- sion trip here or there, or about tithing. It's about a full transformation. Every thought, every day, ongoing, without vacation, is new. Your focus in life changes. The things you used to love are all brought under self-scrutiny. Your spirit will hear from God's own Holy Spirit what to keep, what to change, and what to toss out. Go the Bible and read the New Testament. God's words are spirit, and they are written down there. You will receive from Him spiritually as your eyes read the words physically. He will guide you into the understanding of scripture the world cannot know by the flesh-only. There is an entire new universe of understanding which a- waits those who are forgiven of sin and born again. It will be overwhelming to those around you, as the newness of God's Holy Spirit enters into your life. You'll change. Your speech will change. Your thinking will change. Your inter- ests will change. And the people around you who used to be your friend will seem different to you, and they will see the change in you, and they may even leave you and go and be with others instead of you. Do not let any of that discourage you, for these things are all normal. The flesh literally pulls us one way (away from God), while the spirit literally pulls us one way (toward God). They are polar opposites, and they will never be able to walk together. And for the true born again Christian, they must always pursue God in spirit and in truth, because the flesh does not go away ... and it must be mastered by an application of our will unto God and His Holy Spirit, and not unto the tempting trinkets of sin in this world. God will empower you. He will give you the ability to say no to the things of this world which war against your soul, but He still gives you the choice. Stay strong. Stay the course. Stay focused on God at all times, and you will remain an effective servant of the Most High, able to bring many others to Christ. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

Pay close attention: I'll answer your question since it's a matter of concern with you. The truth requires understanding, not just sound bites. I write this reply for others who will read it, and not just for you who indicates you do not read my replies with your "TL;DR" posts. The truth is before you, Leigh. Are you man enough to investigate it? ----- Jesus commanded us against sin. Homosexuality is a sin. The reason He commanded us against sin is because sin is falseness. it's anti-truth, and because He is truth He setup this entire universe to operate on truth. Because sin is falseness (anti-truth), it's a CANCER that only eats away at the truth. If left unchecked, it will POLLUTE AND CONSUME and replace the stability and eternal nature of truth with weak, unstable lies result- ing in the very dismantling of the entire universe over time. God cares for His creation (of man), and will not let the framework He's created to allow us to live in to be so polluted. He keeps His House clean. So, do I believe that those who focus their lives on sin, who focus their lives on anti-God living, who ultimately seek to destroy everything God's created to be as it is in truth, that they deserve to be cast into Hell rather than being left to live and walk among the rest of us? Absolutely. Do I think homosexuals in this current age of Grace (post-Jesus-at-the- cross, post-Pentecost, before-the-second-coming-of-the-Lord) should be in any way harmed? Absolutely not. I recognize the damaging nature of sin, and how it is only wholly de- structive to truth. I recognize how any sin (including homosexuality) destroys souls by teaching them that falseness is okay, I also recog- nize that God sent Jesus to this Earth TO SAVE us. He did not come to condemn us. He came to give us the way back out of our sin. He has reserved judgment for the Final Day outside of time, the one where all people, past, present, and future, will be summoned to give an account of their lives at the Great White Throne judgment. I reserve judgment for Him, and I teach people the things He first taught us, pointing them to Him so they can go to Him, gain the true understanding of why He established the laws He did, why He gave us the commandments He has, and how our lives extend beyond the confines of this tiny little corporeal existence where we live for a tick of the clock compared to the age of all creation. ----- You purposefully keep blinders on your eyes so you can live in your bubble, Leigh, where you've foolishly convinced yourself that your personal worldview is right. You will not seek to hear or under- stand the truth about God and God's creation, so you remain in your sin, on your path of destruction. It will literally be to your eternal destruction ... unless you change, and repent. I pity you above all men I've met in my life thus far, Leigh. You are willfully blind, and you will not change because of your love of sin coupled to the hard heart it's given you. You will remain in my prayers. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

If you cannot understand it today, re- member this at some future point when you do set your eyes on the truth. Homosexuality is not normal. It is a choice. It is caused by the induce- ment of external influences upon your flesh. These external influences come from evil spirits pumping a person full of spiritual input that alters the way the flesh feels. The person feels the input, and concludes it's who they are, what they are, how they are, etc., but it's artificial in nature. It's injected into them by an evil entity seeking to keep them in sin, focused on the flesh, unwilling to seek the truth and be set free. When a person seeks the truth, God sees them seeking the truth. He looks beyond the outer appearance, beyond even their own words and statements, and sees straight through clearly to the heart and its true intent. When God sees a person seeking the truth, He reaches into their life and inputs HIS OWN spiritual input, which causes that person to be moved in the way they SHOULD BE moved. This causes them to now know and see His guidance, and for that guidance to override the false and destructive guidance of their own sin nature, coupled to any input from evil spirits guiding them toward falseness through more sin. Homosexuals are not the only ones who receive this input, Leigh. It happens to everyone world-wide. Even to Christians. There are some born again Christians who are so weakened in their walk due to this same evil spirit influence, that they cannot rightly understand or see God, they are still as carnal men and women. Paul writes about these types of Christians, calling them carnal, teaching them that they need to focus on the spiritual component. Satan owns our flesh. It is fallen in sin. It becomes corrupt, has a limited lifespan, ages, can become sick, etc. He and his demon imps can inject their influence to tempt us to sin, and they are eternal beings who watch us from birth, tempting us to go left and right at various stages, keeping notes, learning what we will acquiesce to, what we'll stand fast in, and they attack us where we're weakest. ----- I guarantee everyone that if they will turn toward Christ and pursue that which they know is right, even if they are powerless to overcome the influence of their flesh working against their inner will in this life, God will see them seeking with a real effort to break out of that sin, and HE PERSONALLY will come into their life and make it POS- SIBLE to overcome. In fact, I can testify that when I was still an atheist, I wanted to know the truth for real. I was absolutely and completely firmly resolved within myself that I was going to get a real, true, and proper understanding of Biblical writings in context. I did this so I could rightly then stand up and say with authority that the Bible was garbage, that I was justified in being an atheist, that I wasn't just guessing and assuming, and that I be able to look myself in the mirror and know with pride that I was moving in truth. But, when I set my sights on knowing the truth, God knew my true heart's intent. I was thinking truth was one thing, but I really did want to know the truth, and was prepared to admit if I was wrong. His Holy Spirit presence overshadowed my life to such an extent that I was moved in ways I cannot describe, could not understand. There were times I said out loud, "What's happening?" God was reaching into my life by the influence of His Holy Spirit to guide me from where I was to where I would meet His Son a the cross and be saved. And after I was saved, the change came over me and I was absolutely floored. Totally in disbelief at what had just hap- pened to me. I literally 100% changed, and was a new person. The spirit nature is real. It impacts the flesh world-wide. I be- lieve there are forces at work in our media, movies, radio, adver- tisements, etc., that are influencing us toward sin continually, so that more and more of their (evil spirit) brothers and sisters can gain entrance into our lives, so they can have more and more influ- ence, pushing Christianity and Christ out of things. I believe that is the big thrust of the "tolerance" movement right now, that we must all be accommodating other people's beliefs, catering to the lowest common denominator, so that no one is offended. It's not about being offended, it's about keeping people in their place of sin. And it's not about being guided by personal wants or wishes, but about the plans of those evil spirits to keep people tied to sin explicitly so they are not saved. Jesus is before all of mankind. There are no people anywhere where He has not entered into their life to make His presence known in one way or another. It may not have come through a Bible, or through an evangelist, or a missionary, or anything other than Jesus Himself speaking to each person on the inside, without words, making His pre- sence toward truth, righteousness, love, holiness, purity, etc., known in their lives. And all people everywhere hear His voice, and then respond to it, receiving it, being indifferent to it, or reject- ing it. Each of us is accountable for our actions. If any person is con- founded by sin that they do not want, then they must turn toward Christ and ask Him to forgive their sin, save their soul, and give them the strength they need to say no to sin, to come out from sin, to be set free from sin, and to take their rightful place, the place Christ came to the Earth, suffered, died, was buried, and rose again, to enable them to occupy: their eternal place in Heaven in His King- dom without end. That famous song, "And we all shine on ... like the moon, and the stars, and the sun" ... it won't happen for everyone. That song is another of Satan's misguidings to men that we are all going to be that way. The truth is, only those who come to Christ and are for- given for their sin will shine on forever. The rest will be cast into the lake of fire, which is eternal, which will never end. All who will seek the truth will be saved. All who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will not enter into judgment, but are saved and have eternal life. It only takes that true and honest pursuit of truth, of recognizing that God is real, that He created the universe, that you have sin, that God sent His Son Jesus to forgive you for that sin, to repent and believe and ask forgiveness, confess with your mouth, and you will be saved. There are no hills to climb. No hoops to jump through. It is all about faith in God, that pursuit of truth, that desire to follow truth. Jesus does the hard part. We simply ask Him to save us, and when we are sincere He does. ----- Homosexuality is a particularly strong evil spirit influence. There are many testimonies of people who have come out of homosexuality through Christ. You can watch them on YouTube. An app on Apple's website was just recently banned because it has something to do with the author being "ex-gay" and teaches people that you can come out from homosexuality. The anti-Christ evil spirits at work in men and women complained about that app, and Apple removed it from their store. It is more of the anti-Christ influence to try and keep people bound up in their sin, and with the inability to hear that there is a way out of it through Christ. In fact, the only way out of it is through Christ, hence the strong push to keep Him out of everything. All sin condemns a soul. But Jesus came to forgive our sin, and to set us free from it. Turn toward Him, seek the truth, ask God to set you free from lies and falseness, and He will. There's a Biblical story about the Prodigal Son that relates to us in our sin. It is about the son who takes his inheritance, leaves the father's house, goes off into the world and lives high on rowdy and raucous worldly living. He soon consumes all his money, and is destitute. He then remembers the life he had in his father's house, and how even the servants at his father's house lived better than he is living now. He knew because of how he had left he could never be a son again in that family, but he had the thought to humble him- self and go back and become a servant. But the father (in this story the father is a metaphor for God, and we are the prodigal son who left for riotous living, only to then come to a humble place seeking to return), when he sees his son com- ing afar off, runs out to meet him. Orders the finest robes to be brought, and to kill the fatted calf and has a celebration. The son says he is not worthy to be received back into the family, but he would like to be as one of the servants, but the father steps up the lavishing of gifts to him even more proclaiming, my son was lost, but now he is found. He had gone away, but now he has come back, proclaiming that it is a time of celebration and rejoicing. No matter how far we go away from God, when we come to that place of humbling ourselves, of recognizing that we are wrong, or that we are not right, and that there is something more than what we're seeking, that the things of this world are leaving us hollow, empty inside, then we turn toward Him in the smallest amount, God comes running to us and guides us the rest of the way. He really does love us. He is patient and will forgive all of our sin, no matter how bad it's been, for how long, to whom, anything else. All is forgiven when we turn toward Him and ask for that for- giveness. ----- The spirit nature has our flesh pinned down in sin. We can only sin. For some this means cheating, lying, committing adultery, being a drunkard, spending too much time focused on hobbies or even a multitude of things that seem to not be harmful, but they keep us away from the things God calls us to in this world. For some it is homosexuality. For others drug addiction. Porn. Any number of things. The spirit nature (evil spirits influencing our flesh) keep us pinned down. But if we will press in and seek after God and do our part in coming to Him, He will do the rest. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

| "Rick C. Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Dec 29 10:42AM -0500 I've had the idea for an "if cargo" block. It is a standard if {} block, but one containing additional cargo prefixed by in, out, and enter keywords, to be contained within each if clause to run before, after, and when entering the if statement. The enter clause is given specifically to relate to something that should be done, possibly to undo something done in the in clause, including possibly calling the out clause to undo that setup, and prepare it for whatever other code is needed within the block. The cargo portion allows a sequence of conditions to be established sequentially, in a traditional if{} block, with the ability to inject new code at each stage to augment the environment, to then live-test the condition. if (some_test1) in { setup_for_test1 } out { cleanup_for_test1 } enter { related_code_if_block_entered1 } { // Code1 here for this test passing } else if (some_test2) in { setup_for_test2 } out { cleanup_for_test2 } enter { related_code_if_block_entered2 } { // Code2 here for this test passing } ----- The above would work out to this logic: setup_for_test1; if (some_test1) { related_code_if_block_is_entered1; // Code1 here for this test passing goto all_done; } else { cleanup_for_test1; } setup_for_test2; if (some_test2) { related_code_if_block_is_entered2; // Code2 here for this test passing } else { cleanup_for_test2; } all_done: ----- It allows code for setup_for_test, cleanup_for_test, and related_code_if_block_entered to be encapsulated into its intended meaning by placing it where it's used, related to how it's being used, being easily understood as to what it's really doing. It also implicitly documents the purpose of that code nearby, as being part of each if{} statement's prepare, test, cleanup code. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

If your suggestion works out to that code, why not just write that code? It is simpler and clearer, and would make it obvious that the "cleanup" code is not called if the branch is taken. And the "goto" can be avoided by using nested "if", or early returns, if that is what bothers you. I am at a loss to understand why you want so many new syntaxes for different ways of writing the same code in different non-sequential orders. |

The problem is Rick doesn't understand how to use modern C++ properly. He appears to be unaware of the RAII idiom and how it relates to scope bound resource management for example. Rick is a classic case of DOING IT WRONG due to ignorance. Rick is attempting to wallpaper over the gaps in his knowledge with his klunky "language extensions". /Flibble -- "You won't burn in hell.

(Standard C can't have statements inside a condition expression; gcc can.) Notice how the equivalent code is shorter and easier to understand by anyone even if they have no idea cargo-if is. My suggestion is, rather than invent many dozens of whacky features (largely incompatible with each other) is to either add more fundamental ones, such as being able to write 'if (B; A)', or to have one generic feature that allows things such as the above to be added (language building). The latter has the advantage that the core language - apart from this feature - is smaller and simpler, and is faster and more practical to implement. > intended meaning by placing it where it's used, related > to how it's being used, being easily understood as to what > it's really doing. You can already encapsulate any code inside {...}. You do need to have it in the right order, but it is an advantage if {A} {B} and {C} are executed in the order A, B and C. -- bart |
| Horizon68 <horizon@horizon.com>: Dec 29 08:55AM -0800 Hello.. About my C++ synchronization objects library for Windows and Linux.. Here is what i have enhanced: - My Scalable Asymmetric Reader-Writer Mutex was enhanced, now you can pass the number of reader threads to the constructor. - And my SemaMonitor was enhanced, the wait() method return true if it is signaled and false if it is not. - And also i have added a Mutex that works correctly. Please read more about my C++ synchronization objects library on my following website: You can download my C++ synchronization objects library that i have just updated from: https://sites.google.com/site/scalable68/c-synchronization-objects-library Thank you, Amine Moulay Ramdane. |

| "Chris M. Thomasson" <invalid_chris_thomasson@invalid.invalid>: Dec 28 11:30PM -0800 Here is the original link: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/lock-free/wwsAmcuAefA/discussion This experimental algorithm uses only XCHG at the cost of having a consumer wait for the next pointer to be set in a node. However, it allows for real work to be done before any waits are performed. So, the "real" work should provide a "natural backoff" that might minimize the waiting. The algorithm can be improved upon quite a bit. I have some "interesting" ideas for it. Well, here is the code in the form of a Relacy unit test: Notice the "hand off" comments and 0xDEADBEEF, this can be made to work much better... Relacy Unit Test, C++ ____________________________ // Simple Atomic Stack // For Academic and Experimental things... // Beginner, Moderate? // In Good Ol' Relacy! Nice as always. //_______________________________________________ //#define RL_DEBUGBREAK_ON_ASSERT //#define RL_MSVC_OUTPUT //#define RL_FORCE_SEQ_CST //#define RL_GC #include <relacy/relacy_std.hpp> #include <iostream> // Simple macro based redirection of the verbose std membars. #define CT_MB_ACQ std::memory_order_acquire #define CT_MB_REL std::memory_order_release #define CT_MB_RLX std::memory_order_relaxed #define CT_MB_ACQ_REL std::memory_order_acq_rel #define CT_MB_SEQ_CST std::memory_order_seq_cst #define CT_MB(mp_0) std::atomic_thread_fence(mp_0) // Some global vars directing the show... #define THREADS 3 #define ITERS 2 // Experimental Stack struct ct_ecstack { #define WAITNEXT ((node*)0xDEADBEEF) struct node { std::atomic<node*> m_next; VAR_T(unsigned int) m_data; node(unsigned int data) : m_next(nullptr), m_data(data) {} void process() { // simulate some work? rl::yield(1 + rl::rand(2), $); // ;^) } node* next_wait() { node* next = nullptr; while ((next = m_next.load(CT_MB_RLX)) == WAITNEXT) { // Humm, we can actually do other work right here... // Hand off... rl::yield(1, $); } return next; } }; std::atomic<node*> m_head; ct_ecstack() : m_head(nullptr) {} void push(node* n) { n->m_next.store(WAITNEXT, CT_MB_RLX); node* head = m_head.exchange(n, CT_MB_REL); // release n->m_next.store(head, CT_MB_RLX); } node* flush_try() { return m_head.exchange(nullptr, CT_MB_ACQ); // acquire } }; // Relacy Stack Test... struct ct_ecstack_test : rl::test_suite<ct_ecstack_test, THREADS> { ct_ecstack g_ecstack; void process() { ct_ecstack::node* n = g_ecstack.flush_try(); // flush all while (n) { // Process n first, acts like a backoff for the next wait // Hand off some other nodes? Future note... n->process(); // Wait for the next pointer, or hand off? ct_ecstack::node* next = n->next_wait(); // Destroy delete n; // Loop on... n = next; } } void thread(unsigned int tidx) { for (unsigned int i = 0; i < ITERS; ++i) { g_ecstack.push(new ct_ecstack::node(tidx)); g_ecstack.push(new ct_ecstack::node(tidx)); g_ecstack.push(new ct_ecstack::node(tidx)); process(); g_ecstack.push(new ct_ecstack::node(tidx)); } process(); } }; // Test away... Or fly? Humm... int main() { { rl::test_params p; p.iteration_count = 10000000; //p.execution_depth_limit = 33333; //p.search_type = rl::sched_bound; //p.search_type = rl::fair_full_search_scheduler_type; //p.search_type = rl::fair_context_bound_scheduler_type; rl::simulate<ct_ecstack_test>(p); } return 0; } ____________________________ It is very simple, but might be "interesting". ct_ecstack is what I am focusing on. Producer's use ct_ecstack::push to add a node to the stack, and Consumers use ct_ecstack::flush_try to remove all of the nodes in one shot. All of the atomic operations use XCHG. There is a special caveat that this can create... The consumers need to use ct_ecstack::node::next_wait to gain next pointers wrt their iteration process. A consumer can consume more than one node, so it needs to iterate. One point, real work is performed before any wait is performed. For instance, take a look at ct_ecstack_test::process: ____________________________ void process() { ct_ecstack::node* n = g_ecstack.flush_try(); // flush all while (n) { // Process n first, acts like a backoff for the next wait // Hand off some other nodes? Future note... n->process(); //^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ // We process before we: // Wait for the next pointer, or hand off? ct_ecstack::node* next = n->next_wait(); // Wait. Might be beneficial... // Destroy delete n; // Loop on... n = next; } } ____________________________ Might be pretty cool wrt its simplicity, and no use of CAS! ;^) |
