Reagents.C++

This is my hobby programming project with the goal to implement Reagents for C++.

Reagents: expressing and composing fine-grained concurrency
Aaron Turon
in Scala

Note that I have no plans to invest time in turning anything in this project into reusable libraries and I make absolutely no promises of any kind regarding the future of this project.

Plan

• Implement both MCS lock based CASN and RDCSS based CASN in order to be able to compare their performance
• Implement Reagents parameterized with CASN
