Meta Configuration of Package libatomic_ops-devel
<package name="libatomic_ops-devel" project="multimedia"> <title>A portable library for atomic memory operations</title> <description>This package provides semi-portable access to hardware provided atomic memory operations. These might allow you to write code: * That does more interesting things in signal handlers. * Makes more effective use of multiprocessors by allowing you to write clever lock-free code. Note that such code is very difficult to get right, and will unavoidably be less portable than lock-based code. It ia also not always faster than lock-based code. But it may occasionally be a large performance win. * To experiment with new and much better thread programming paradigms, etc. For details and licensing restrictions see the files in the doc subdirectory.</description> <person userid="netmax" role="maintainer"/> </package>
