Summary of Discussions on Explicit Cancellation in Transactional Language Constructs for C++

by Hans Boehm, Justin Gottschlich, Victor Luchangco, Maged Michael, Mark Moir, Torvald Riegel, Michael Scott, Michael Spear, Tatiana Shpeisman, Michael Wong

Excerpt:

This document summarizes discussions in the SG5 Transactional Memory Study Group on ideas for supporting explicit cancellation of atomic transactions. While we have not reached agreement on whether to support such features or how to do so if we do, we have had some useful discussions that have generated some new ideas and have helped us understand some issues in how we present such features.
