The bulk of my day has been sacrificed upon the alter of the synchronization gods. I am trying (thus far with little success) to implement a lock-free queue for sending messages between Epoch tasks. While progress is being made, it's slow going, as I'm pretty much entirely in uncharted territory.

As such, I've made the decision that if I don't have a solid lockless implementation done by Wednesday night, I'll go ahead and revert to the lock-based code for the GDC release. That'll give me time to finish all the code polishing and document-writing that needs to be done.


I plan to share the details of the lockless message passing system as soon as I get it working [grin]
