[erlang-questions] Wait-Free practical algorithms in C?

[Zabrane Mickael]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the link. As I said before, lock-free algorithms are
pretty simple to find and understand (practically speaking).

But that's not the case for wait-free. There's no technical doc explaining
them.

Anyone else, need help?

Regards,
Zabrane
