2.2 Paper reviews
 

Discussion on Embedded:
 
Review latest mailings:
P2532 Removing exception_ptr from the receivers concept
design change now that executor is not in
if sender use excewptions, the nreceiver must habdle exceptions, but if noexcept sender then receiver has none
So for embedded if we dont have exceptions, then this would be maskable interrupts so it wont be handled

is it UDP? sender/receiver is much lower level 

More redesigns likely for executors, should we have an SG for executors, but currently it was in SG1
sender/received supports events


Based on the last meeting and the discussions here.
P2544 C++ Exceptions are becoming more and more problematic

multi core systems with locks in the exception mechanism has severe penalties
need global lock on the unwinding table so as to be safe for when you load dynamic library even though it is rare you need the,  unless you use transactional memory which could be an ABI break even if we use advance Lock free mechnisms
its the auxiliary data structure that the unwind mechanisms 
can we put these tables in data segment instead of code segment?

changing the eh mechnism requires substantial knowledge to get it right
James Renwick and Bjarne should have a look at this





We might want to chime in here.
/Paul 
P. S. P2327 de-deprecating volatile received a "consensus" straw poll.

started from SG14 and was accepted  
P2327 straw poll consensus as a defect report to go in for 23, only the bitwise operator for volatile and people were surprised it is not atomic
original paper was still good because volatile is not to be used on multiple threads, but for hardware register arithmetic





Discussion on Low Latency/Finance topics
P2300
Swift
