fyi, i am working on boost-style c++ implementations of some lockfree
data structures ... the library is on the boost review queue, however
counting the number of libs in the queue and review processes per year,
it may take some time, until it is an official part of boost ..

these concepts have been around in this community
(and others) for
years. i suspect that it is more than a decade since the folks at
GRAME published their paper on lock free data structures (used in
MidiShare), and its probably a decade or more since LAD first
discussed lock free (single-read/single-writer) ringbuffers. there's
nothing wrong with having new eyes and new ideas but i couldn't see
anything from a casual glance in that paper that hasn't been
documented and used by people on this list for a long time.
i should perhaps note that there tends to be less use of generic lock
free data structures because of the absence of nice libraries. maybe
effo can be a useful addition there. its not as if its the first one,
however.
