[lttng-dev] [PATCH urcu] lfstack: implement empty, pop_all and iterators, document API

Mathieu Desnoyers mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com
Mon Oct 22 09:03:40 EDT 2012


We are changing the ABI by adding a mutex into struct cds_lfs_stack.
This ABI has never been exposed in a release so far, so we can change
it.
