24 /* A GAtomicArray is a growable, mutable array of data
25 * generally of the form of a header of a specific size and
26 * then a array of items of a fixed size.
28 * It is possible to do lock-less read transactions from the
29 * array without any protection against other reads or writes,
30 * but such read operation must be aware that the data in the
31 * atomic array can change at any time during the transaction,
32 * and only at the end can we verify if the transaction succeeded
33 * or not. Thus the reading transaction cannot for instance
34 * dereference a pointer in the array inside the transaction.
36 * The size of an array however cannot change during a read
39 * Writes to the array is done in a copy-update style, but there
40 * is no real protection against multiple writers overwriting each
41 * others updates, so writes must be protected by an external lock.
