Detailed Description

template<class T, int32_t nSlots = 32>
class lunchbox::LFVector< T, nSlots >

STL-like vector implementation providing certain thread-safety guarantees.

All operations not modifying the vector size are lock-free and wait-free. All operations modifying the vector size are serialized using a spin lock. The interaction of operations is documented in the corresponding modify operation.

Undocumented methods behave like the STL implementation. The number of slots (default 32) sets the maximum elements the vector may hold to 2^nSlots-1. Each slot needs one pointer additional storage. Naturally it should never be set higher than 64.

Not all std::vector methods are implemented. Serializable using boost.serialization.

template<class T, int32_t nSlots>

Remove an element.

A concurrent read on the item or any following item is not thread save. The vector's size is decremented first. Returns end() if the element can't be removed, i.e., the iterator is past end() or not for this vector.

Parameters
posthe element to remove
Returns
an iterator pointing to the element after the removed element, or end() if nothing was erased.

Remove the last occurence of the given element.

A concurrent read on the item or any following item is not thread save. The vector's size is decremented first. Returns end() if the element can't be removed, i.e., the vector does not contain the element.

Parameters
elementthe element to remove
Returns
an iterator pointing to the element after the removed element, or end() if nothing was erased.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

template<class T, int32_t nSlots>
void lunchbox::LFVector< T, nSlots >::expand ( const size_t  newSize,
const T &  item = T() 
)

Resize the vector to at least the given size.

In contrast to resize(), expand() only increases the size of the vector, allowing concurrent resize operations on the same vector. Completely thread-save with read operations. Existing end() iterators will keep pointing to the old end of the vector. The size is updated after all elements have been inserted, so size() followed by a read is thread-safe. In contrast to while( vector.size() < newSize ) vector.insert( item ); this method's operation is atomic with other writes.

Parameters
newSizethe minimum new size.
itemthe element to insert.
Exceptions
std::runtime_errorif the vector is full

Remove the last element (atomic version).

A concurrent read on the removed item produces undefined results, in particular end() and back(). The last element is assigned to the given output element if the vector is not empty. If the vector is empty, element is not touched and false is returned. The whole operation is atomic with other operations changing the size of the vector.
