My Book “Concurrency with Modern C++” is 30% complete
Concurrency with Modern C++ is a journey through current and upcoming concurrency in C++.
Why do we need Guidelines for Modern C++?
This subjective post is based on more than 15 years of experience as a trainer for C++, Python, and software development in general. In the last years, I was responsible for the software and the team for building software for defibrillators. That included the regulatory affairs for our devices. Writing software for a defibrillator is […]
What is Modern C++?
We often speak about classical and modern C++. What does that mean? First of all: What is modern C++? There is a simple and a not-so-simple answer. The simple answer is. Modern C++ stands for C++, which is based on C++11, C++14, and C++17. I guess you know it. This post and a series of […]
The Winner is: Multithreading: The high-level Interface
The winners of the next pdf bundles are.
ABA – A is not the same as A
A common problem in concurrency is the so-called ABA problem. That means you read a value twice and each time it returns the same value A. Therefore you conclude that nothing changed in between. But you forgot the B.
Which pdf bundle should I provide? Make your cross!
Now, it’s time to choose the next pdf bundle? You will get all posts, all source files, and a cmake file to the chosen topic.
Blocking and Non-Blocking Algorithms
Blocking, non-blocking, lock-free, and wait-free. Each of these terms describes a key characteristic of an algorithm when executed in a concurrent environment. So, reasoning about the runtime behavior of your program often means putting your algorithm in the right bucket. Therefore, this post is about buckets.
Looking for Proofreaders for my new Book: Concurrency with Modern C++
I’m looking for proofreaders for my new book. I’ll give you a detailed insight into the current and the upcoming concurrency in C++. This insight includes the theory and a lot of practice.
Malicious Race Conditions and Data Races
This post is about malicious race conditions and data races. Malicious race conditions are race conditions that cause the breaking of invariants, blocking issues of threads, or lifetime issues of variables.
