Software Transactional Memory in C++: pure functional approach (Tutorial)

In this article I’ll tell you about my pure functional library for Software Transactional Memory (STM) that I’ve built in C++. I adopted some advanced functional programming concepts that make it composable and convenient to use. Its implementation is rather small and robust, which differentiates the library from competitors. Let’s discuss what STM is and how to use it.

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?

Simple Security Guidelines

Using an iDevice? (Best option)

Use an iPod or an iPad without a SIM card
Use an iPhone
Do not jailbreak
Always upgrade to new iOS versions
Use Brave browser

	# You should set up your system as following:
	# 1) Add 'i915.enable_gvt=1 intel_iommu=on iommu=pt' to boot arguments
	# 1.1) If you get Windows guest working somehow, then add 'kvm.ignore_msrs=1' to avoid guest BSOD-ing
	# (Windows does weird stuff).
	# 2) `MODULES=(kvm kvmgt i915)` in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
	# 3) `echo -e "options i915 enable_gvt=1\nsoftdep i915 pre: kvmgt" > /etc/modprobe.d/20-kvmgt.conf` for sure

	(1) The 80x86 is an Octal Machine
	This is a follow-up and revision of an article posted in alt.lang.asm on
	7-5-92 concerning the 80x86 instruction encoding.

	The only proper way to understand 80x86 coding is to realize that ALL 80x86

	#define defer auto DEFER(__LINE__) = defer_dummy{} *[&]()
