Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2009-07-23 21:17:43 UTC 
Collections should be able to be shared across many threads. For performance reasons possibly wrappers should be created.

- Synchronized{Collection,Set,...} - Wrapper simply wrapping in mutex the operation. Probably it should support some HL atomic operations.
  - Possibly a variant with ReadWrite lock instead of full lock for heavly read collections
- CopyOnWrite{Collect,Set...}

Some time ago there was discussion about using SkipListMap/SkipListSet. It would need proper volatile support in vala or preferably atomic support.
Comment 2 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2011-04-05 06:49:19 UTC 
Lock-free data structures are accepted into 0.7
Comment 3 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2013-03-31 15:46:10 UTC 
Concurrently accessable list is in 0.8, set in 0.10 and map will be in 0.12.
