I will have to look at the implementation some day, but I think I am starting to see what you mean with the API. Is the typical implementation of those days structures relying on many small scale mutexes to avoid contention, or RCU techniques ?

Mostly compare-and-swap mechanisms at critical points so that everything is always consistent (for very specific definitions of consistent). I think there are alternative paths when contention starts becoming too high. It's been a while, but the code is the real reference. You can go back and look at the mailing list archives as well. http://cs.oswego.edu/mailman/listinfo/concurrency-interest http://cs.oswego.edu/mailman/listinfo/concurrency-interest
