2011-11-13Implement generic lock-free queueRickard Green
The implementation of an ERTS internal, generic, many to one, lock-free queue for communication between threads. The many to one scenario is very common in ERTS, so it can be used in a lot of places in the future. Changing to this queue from a lock based queue, however, often requires some redesigning. This since we have often used the lock of the queue to protect other information too.
