Actually, this is a good alternative: post here if anyone knows
about simple bugs that I can tackle.
Although Martin, I wouldn't considering writing patches involving
atomic ops to be easy/simple bugs. However, I think I know enough
x86 asm to write an optimized version of atomicInc and atomicDec.
I'll take a crack at it this week!
I'll start with a bunch of core.atomic improvements.
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12891 - add atomicInc
and
atomicDec to core.atomic
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14117 - core.atomic
should be @safe
That one is a bit harder, because it involves dmd and druntime,
but it's
a huge improvement, implementation help guaranteed.
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13713 - core.atomic
should use
compiler intrinsics
