BORDEAUX-MP

Bordeaux-MP has been superseded by Bordeaux-Threads. The new library is very similar except that the nomenclature has been changed from "process" to "thread" because ''process'' is a very heavily overloaded term, and the atomic operations have been removed because they implied a level of isolation that didn't exist.

The rest of this page is obsolete.

The current text of the proposed standard can be viewed in telent CVS.
