Description

The stack class provides a multi-writer/multi-reader stack, pushing and popping is lock-free, construction/destruction has to be synchronized. It uses a freelist for memory management, freed nodes are pushed to the freelist and not returned to the OS before the stack is destroyed.

Policies:

boost::lockfree::fixed_sized<>, defaults to boost::lockfree::fixed_sized<false>
Can be used to completely disable dynamic memory allocations during push in order to ensure lockfree behavior.
If the data structure is configured as fixed-sized, the internal nodes are stored inside an array and they are addressed by array indexing. This limits the possible size of the stack to the number of elements that can be addressed by the index type (usually 2**16-2), but on platforms that lack double-width compare-and-exchange instructions, this is the best way to achieve lock-freedom.
boost::lockfree::capacity<>, optional
If this template argument is passed to the options, the size of the stack is set at compile-time.
It this option implies fixed_sized<true>
boost::lockfree::allocator<>, defaults to boost::lockfree::allocator<std::allocator<void>>
Specifies the allocator that is used for the internal freelist

Requirements:

T must have a copy constructor

`stack` public construct/copy/destruct

```
stack(void);
```
Construct stack.

template<typename U> explicit stack(unspecified alloc);

explicit stack(allocator const & alloc);

```
explicit stack(size_type n);
```
Construct stack, allocate n nodes for the freelist.

template<typename U> stack(size_type n, unspecified alloc);

```
~stack(void);
```
Destroys stack, free all nodes from freelist.

Note

not thread-safe

 BOOST_DELETED_FUNCTION(stack(stack const &));

bool is_lock_free(void) const;

	Warning
It only checks, if the top stack node and the freelist can be modified in a lock-free manner. On most platforms, the whole implementation is lock-free, if this is true. Using c++0x-style atomics, there is no possibility to provide a completely accurate implementation, because one would need to test every internal node, which is impossible if further nodes will be allocated from the operating system.

`stack` public member functions

```
bool push(T const & v);
```
Pushes object t to the stack.

Note

Thread-safe. If internal memory pool is exhausted and the memory pool is not fixed-sized, a new node will be allocated from the OS. This may not be lock-free.

Postconditions:

object will be pushed to the stack, if internal node can be allocated

Returns:

true, if the push operation is successful.

Throws:
if memory allocator throws
```
bool bounded_push(T const & v);
```
Pushes object t to the stack.

Note

Thread-safe and non-blocking. If internal memory pool is exhausted, the push operation will fail

Postconditions:

object will be pushed to the stack, if internal node can be allocated

Returns:

true, if the push operation is successful.
```
template<typename ConstIterator> 
  ConstIterator push(ConstIterator begin, ConstIterator end);
```
Pushes as many objects from the range [begin, end) as freelist node can be allocated.

Note

Operation is applied atomically

Note

Thread-safe. If internal memory pool is exhausted and the memory pool is not fixed-sized, a new node will be allocated from the OS. This may not be lock-free.

Returns:

iterator to the first element, which has not been pushed

Throws:
if memory allocator throws
```
template<typename ConstIterator> 
  ConstIterator bounded_push(ConstIterator begin, ConstIterator end);
```
Pushes as many objects from the range [begin, end) as freelist node can be allocated.

iterator to the first element, which has not been pushed

Throws:
if memory allocator throws
```
bool unsynchronized_push(T const & v);
```
Pushes object t to the stack.

Note

Not thread-safe. If internal memory pool is exhausted and the memory pool is not fixed-sized, a new node will be allocated from the OS. This may not be lock-free.

Postconditions:
