What is a memory model and why does C++ need it so badly? I’ll try to explain both the practical and the theoretical side of things. We’ll look into a few simple multithreaded idioms, sketch the …
Functions often depend on particular behavioral characteristics (“features”) of code they invoke. For example, thread-safe code must invoke only thread-safe code if it is to remain thread-safe, and exception-safe code must invoke only exception-safe code. This talk describes …
