Await && Locks

Abstract

Await && Locks is a library that contains easy-to-use thread synchronization tools for C++. It helps to write understandable and robust multithreaded programs.

Await && Locks has such features as:

• simplicity, it provides easy-to-use macros, which allow programmer not to care about creation and deletion of synchronization object, locking and unlocking. Synchronization will become more declarative.
• expressiveness, most of synchronization objects can be expressed and even more. Programmer can use shared locks as well as exclusive locks and any combination of them.
• platform independence, this library is not collection of wrappers over some OS synchronization objects, so behaviour of the programs does not depend on OS specifics.
• deadlock detection, library is able to detect deadlocks.
