Concurrency TS Editor's Report

by Artur Laksberg

(watch on YouTube) (watch on Channel 9)

Summary of the talk:

In this presentation we will talk about the new C++ concurrency features that have been included in the Concurrency Technical Specification.

The TS should be of interest to anyone writing concurrent code in C++. The proposal includes improved futures for wait-free composition of asynchronous operations (including their relationship with C++ 'await'), new synchronization constructs as well as atomic smart pointers.
