I had heard Andrei did something like this a while ago, but I missed
the details until just now, when I stumbled across the article at
http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=7998/cujcexp1902alexandr/. I was a
little disappointed at first because I always imagined something much
more sophisticated, but the simplicity of Andrei's technique is also
its beauty. I wonder if it makes sense for us to implement:
a. A coding guideline in which threadsafe member functions are
volatile
b. Some infrastructure similar to his LockingPtr
Thoughts?
