An Adventure in Race Conditions

Explore the challenges and solutions of concurrent programming in this ACCU 2019 conference talk. Delve into asynchronous programming and high-level abstractions that help avoid common pitfalls associated with locks and atomics. Learn about the subtleties of race conditions through real-world production code examples. Discover strategies to identify and prevent concurrency issues, and understand how high-level abstractions can be implemented without sacrificing performance. Cover essential topics including code sharing principles in concurrent programming, mutability, mutex and locks, atomics, condition variables, race conditions, and futures. Gain insights from Felix Petriconi, an experienced C++ developer and contributor to the stlab.cc concurrency library, as he shares his expertise in C++ development, performance tuning, and concurrent programming techniques.
