[fpc-devel] Lock Free Memory Management

[Helmut Hartl]

Hello,

I want to give some input for discussion, as lately
multithreading/processing 
was talked about on the list. This is a paper about lock free memory
management,
which could do a great job for Free Pascal too.

My question is does any of the core developers have experience with the 
CAS commands needed for such an implementation?

Does the Codegenerator already support this?
Are they portable?
How would you suggest to implement such operations platform independent?


Greets, 

helmut
