Vamos-buffers

VAMOS is a framework for monitoring heterogeneous asynchronous events sources. Events are efficiently transferred via concurrent buffers in the shared memory and the implementation of (not only) the shared buffers is in this repository.

Configuring and building

# simple configuration & build & runnning tests

cmake . -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang
make -j4
make -j4 tests

Note that using clang is not compulsory, but some helper scripts in other VAMOS repositories (e.g., vamos-sources/tsan/compiler.py) rely on that and there is a risk that these scripts will not work in the release build if the library is not compiled with clang. A work-around, if needed, is turning of interprocedural optimizations (IPO) in cmake (use -DENABLE_IPO=OFF while configuring).
