Hi EWG,
We met this morning to discuss TM TS v2.
Polls:
Use a/many (potentially contextual) keyword to denote atomic blocks, rather than making it a library feature. For example atomic do { ... }.
| SF | F | N | A | SA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The proposed approach to TM generally seems acceptable, and would fit in a TM TS v2.
| SF | F | N | A | SA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
We'll see it again after discussing the particular keyword approach. LEWG should also see it to discuss library support guarantees, if any.

Hello atomic { EWG(); }Next week, August 5th at 8AM Pacific (3PM GMT), we'll have an EWG telecon on the transactional memory light TS:
- Hans posted links to the EWG reflector yesterday.
- The latest background and motivation paper will be in the coming mailing (it fixes a few minor issues from the previous version).
- The wording paper is extremely short.
Let's discuss it on the reflector first. I expect to hear questions on implementations, as well as use of contextual keyword versus other approaches.Here's the call-in information:
