Muzuka-c

This is a collection of some modern skills for multithreading and concurrency in C++

• Mutex
  • SpinlockMutex: A simple mutex implementation based on std::atomic_flag::test_and_set
  • DataMutex: A Rust-style mutex in C++
• Task Queue
  • SimpleSerialTaskQueue: A simple serial queue implementation
  • TaskQueue: A general task queue running tasks in parallel. The concept is similar to SimpleSerialTaskQueue but it runs the tasks in several threads at the same time instead of running them sequentially
• Ring Buffer
  • SPSCRingBuffer: A thread-safe single-producer-single-consumer circular buffer

Run the demo

Run run.sh <FOLDER_NAME> to play the examples, where the <FOLDER_NAME> is mutex, task_queue, or ring_buffer. Or you can simply go to those folder then build examples by running make and clean them by make clean.
