| |
Hello,
Userspace RCU 0.2.1 includes:
- small header dependency fix for rculist.h. - new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread creation/removal. See README for details.
Thanks,
Mathieu
