<recording this here for future reference> PR102994 "atomics: std::atomic<ptr>::wait is not marked const" raises the issue that the current libstdc++ implementation marks the notify members const, the implementation strategy used by libstdc++, as well as libc++ and the Microsoft STL, do not require the atomic to be mutable (it is hard to conceive of a desirable implementation approach that would require it). The original paper proposing the wait/notify functionality for atomics (p1185) also had these members marked const for the first three revisions, but that was changed without explanation in r3 and subsequent revisions of the paper. After raising the issue to the authors of p1185 and the author of the libc++ implementation, the consensus seems to be "meh, it's harmless" so there seems little appetite for an LWG issue to revisit the subject. This patch changes the libstdc++ implementation to be in agreement with the standard by removing const from those notify_one/notify_all members. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/102994 * include/bits/atomic_base.h (atomic_flag::notify_one, notify_all): Remove const qualification. (__atomic_base::notify_one, notify_all): Likewise. * include/std/atomic (atomic<bool>::notify_one, notify_all): Likewise. (atomic::notify_one, notify_all): Likewise. (atomic<T*>::notify_one, notify_all): Likewise. (atomic_notify_one, atomic_notify_all): Likewise. * testsuite/29_atomics/atomic/wait_notify/102994.cc: Adjust test to account for change in notify_one/notify_all signature. |
