Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: announce adoption of C11 atomic operations semantics
Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 23:30:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200522043013.12535-1-honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1588835193-27550-1-git-send-email-phil.yang@arm.com>
As agreed in the DPDK tech board [1], after 20.05 release, patches must
use C11 atomic operations semantics with the help of wrappers.
