  • Falsehoods programmers believe about undefined behavior
    1 project | /r/C_Programming | 28 Nov 2022
    Maybe I'm missing something, but x is not volatile and the compiler is free to assume that it is not modified concurrently outside the bounds of C's memory model. Compilers can and do hoist out loop invariants, and https://github.com/concurrencykit/ck/commit/b54ae5c4ace9b94442bbb46858449069f566d269 seems like an example of compilers doing what you say they don't. What am I missing?

  • Does a thread have a better chance of acquiring a mutex if it's just in time? Or if it's been in the queue? Neither?

    If you're interested in how other approaches work, or how one achieves concurrency on shared mutable state without mutual exclusion, would recommend checking out concurrency kit.
  • Libdill: Structured Concurrency for C (2016)

    There are plenty of practical solutions to the safe memory reclamation problem in C. The language just doesn't force one on you.

    From epoch-based reclamation (https://github.com/concurrencykit/ck/blob/master/include/ck_..., especially with the multiplexing extension to Fraser's classic scheme), to quiescence schemes (https://liburcu.org/), or hazard pointers (https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/synchron..., or https://pvk.ca/Blog/2020/07/07/flatter-wait-free-hazard-poin...)... or even simple using a type-stable (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedin...) memory allocator.

    In my experience, it's easier to write code that is resilient to hiccups in C than in Java. Solving SMR with GC only offers something close to lock-freedom when you can guarantee global GC pauses are short enough... and common techniques to bound pauses, like explicitly managed freelists land you back in the same problem space as C.

    However, you should be able to use a different version of the library that is compatible with your system. Maybe you can install the development package for `libevent` via the system package manager? That should assure a working state. Otherwise you should be able to download a compatible version from https://libevent.org/ (either binary or source and build it yourself).

    They're different. Node uses libuv while chromium uses libevent. You're also seeing different APIs for working with the event loop like nextTick() in Node that doesn't exist in browsers.
