Description:
|
|
Wouldn't it be great if you could have the compiler help you navigate the murky waters of multithreaded programming? This talk delves into the under explored issue of volatile-correctness. The exciting discovery is - if you follow a couple of simple rules in conjunction with the volatile keyword, you can transform all race conditions into compile-time errors.
