liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible.
liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues, stacks, and doubly-linked lists.
This is a minor compatibility-related release, fixing build issues with FreeBSD and NetBSD. On Linux, only the test_perthreadlock fix could change the result of make check (which could previously fail due to non-initialized mutexes), but it does not impact anything installed on the system.
Changelog: 2012-06-01 Userspace RCU 0.7.3 * Fix tests: make dist lib dependency * Update README for OS supported, tests dependency * Add CodingStyle to tarball * Add coding style document * Test fix: test_perthreadlock uninitialized mutex * tests: support FreeBSD short "time" args * freebsd 8.2 fix: define MAP_ANONYMOUS for compatibility
