Lock-Free Programming with Modern C++

Explore lock-free programming techniques in modern C++ through this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2017. Delve into the world of thread-safe code for low-latency and real-time applications, focusing on the improvements introduced by the C++ standard, including std::atomic and a well-defined memory model for multithreaded code. Learn about atomic operations, lock-free and wait-free programming concepts, and common pitfalls to avoid. Discover practical use cases for lock-free programming, including safe data sharing across threads without locks or critical sections. Examine the implementation of a lock-free queue as a concrete example of lock-free data structures. Gain insights into when to use lock-free techniques and important considerations for their successful application in modern C++ development.
