If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...

If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...

If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

...then 'No Bugs' Hare on Soft.ware might be the right place for you.

CAS (Re)Actor for Non-Blocking Multithreaded Primitives

Quote:	in 2017, I started to feel that the Dark Ages of mutex-based thread sync were over
Another Quote:	Another issue which almost universally rears its ugly head when speaking about not-so-trivial uses of CAS is the so-called ABA problem.

Quote:	“We decide which set of types we’re using (fundamental or int*_t), and use it consistently”
Another Quote:	“The only thing we’re doing here, is changing the name of the type, NOT its behavior”

Quote:	“with std::reduce() such code, while it compiles at least under MSVC, MAY occasionally provide wrong results”
Another Quote:	“if you happen to need something beyond that – take a deep breath and allocate at least several months to understand how does parallelism really work under the hood.”

Quote:	“as long as serial code provides good-enough response times from end-user perspective – DON’T PARALLELIZE”
Another Quote:	“out of all the premature optimizations, premature parallelization is the most premature one”

Abstract:	“I made an experiment which demonstrates Big Fat Dangers(tm) of implying that parallelization can be made as simple as just adding a policy parameter to your std:: call.”
Quote:	“it is still necessary to understand what we’re doing”

Quote:	“we’re just narrowly avoiding a disaster without understanding how close we were”
Another Quote:	“there is a chance that intuitive::lt MIGHT be a good thing to make behaviour of our C++ code to correspond better to our-expectations-when-we’re-reading-it”
