Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libcds-dev on Debian 12.
What is libcds-dev
libcds-dev is:
The Concurrent Data Structures (CDS) library is a collection of concurrent containers that don’t require external (manual) synchronization for shared access, and safe memory reclamation (SMR) algorithms like Hazard Pointer and user-space RCU that is used as an epoch-based SMR.
CDS is mostly header-only template library. Only SMR core implementation is segregated to .so/.dll file.
The library contains the implementations of the following containers:
- lock-free stack with optional elimination support
- several algo for lock-free queue, including classic Michael & Scott
algorithm and its derivatives, the flat combining queue, the
segmented queue.
- several implementation of unordered set/map - lock-free and
fine-grained lock-based
- flat-combining technique
- lock-free skip-list
- lock-free FeldmanHashMap/Set Multi-Level Array Hash with thread-safe
bidirectional iterator support Bronson's et al algorithm for
fine-grained lock-based AVL tree
Generally, each container has an intrusive and non-intrusive (STL-like) version belonging to cds::intrusive and cds::container namespace respectively.
This package contains the development files.
