Guidelines for how to use C++ atomics safely in our code using worked examples.

Slides and code and for my ACCU 2015 presentation

by Anthony Williams

From the article:

It's now two months since the ACCU 2015 conference in Bristol, UK, so I thought it was about time I posted my slides.

This year my presentation was titled "Safety: off - How not to shoot yourself in the foot with C++ atomics". I gave a brief introduction to the C++ atomics facilities, some worked examples of usage, and guidelines for how to use atomics safely in your code.

The slides are available here, and the code examples here.
