Indeed, maybe better concentrating on the v7-branch + documentation updates: as I told you already the framework is already there and I will add very soon a different policy for not-refcounted string + "short string optimization". Remains open the exceptions issue but after all, now that I studied some materil, seems manageable.
But I cannot really reply in detail to your last message, now, just some pointers: > I'm not too sure which papers you are referring to, even after > Herb Sutter's name was mentionned. Simply the series reprinted in "More exceptional C++", in particular appendixes A and B. I do know that the one > article I have read by Herb which concerned thread safety was > full of errors, and resulted in a long discussion in > comp.lang.c++.moderated. Ah, yes, thanks. I read part of that thread, but have to re-read it: in any case, will be not terribly useful for the work ahead. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21334
