The devel/boehm-gc,-atomic port
libatomic_ops-7.4.0p1 – access to hardware provided atomic memory operations
Description
This package provides semi-portable access to hardware provided
atomic memory operations. These might allow you to write code:
- That does more interesting things in signal handlers.
- Makes more effective use of multiprocessors by allowing you to write
clever lock-free code. Note that such code is very difficult to get
right, and will unavoidably be less portable than lock-based code. It
ia also not always faster than lock-based code. But it may occasionally
be a large performance win.
