Does someone know of a good resource for the implementation (meaning source code) of lock-free usual data types. I’m thinking of Lists, Queues and so on?
Locking implementations are extremely easy to find but I can’t find examples of lock free algorithms and how to exactly does CAS work and how to use it to implement those structures.
Check out Julian M Bucknall’s blog. He describes (in detail) lock-free implementations of queues, lists, stacks, etc.
