- Most of the atomic_ops functionality is available under Win32 with
- the Microsoft tools, but the build process currently is considerably more
- primitive than on Linux/Unix platforms.
- To build:
- 1) Go to the src directory in the distribution.
- 2) Make sure the Microsoft command-line tools (e.g. nmake) are available.
- 3) Run "nmake -f Makefile.msft". This should run some tests, which
- may print warnings about the types of the "Interlocked" functions.
- I haven't been able to make all versions of VC++ happy. If you know
- how to, please send a patch.
- 4) To compile applications, you will need to retain or copy the following
- pieces from the resulting src directory contents:
- "atomic_ops.h" - Header file defining low-level primitives. This
- includes files from:
- "atomic_ops"- Subdirectory containing implementation header files.
- "atomic_ops_stack.h" - Header file describing almost lock-free stack.
- "atomic_ops_malloc.h" - Header file describing almost lock-free malloc.
- "libatomic_ops_gpl.lib" - Library containing implementation of the
- above two (plus AO_pause() defined in atomic_ops.c).
- The atomic_ops.h implementation is entirely in the
- header files in Win32.
- If the client defines AO_ASSUME_VISTA (before include atomic_ops.h), it should
- make double_compare_and_swap_full available.
- Note that the library is covered by the GNU General Public License, while
- the top 2 of these pieces allow use in proprietary code.
