Microsoft has made available a first beta version of an experimental version of .NET 4.0, called .NET Framework 4.0 Beta 1 Enabled for Software Transactional Memory v1.0. Since that is quite a long name, the short one is STM.NET. This is a special version of .NET 4.0 that enables software transactional memory for C#. It allows programmers to demarcate regions of code as operating in an atomic, isolated transaction from other code running concurrently. The means to do this is a delegate called Atomic.Do, or try-catch blocks. Might be that in the future an ‘atomic’ block will be added to the language(s).<\/p>\n
This first version of the framework, also comes with additional tools:<\/p>\n
On the other hand there are some limitations:<\/p>\n
More information about it can be found at the STM team blog<\/a> or MSDN DevLabs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Microsoft has made available a first beta version of an experimental version of .NET 4.0, called .NET Framework 4.0 Beta 1 Enabled for Software Transactional Memory v1.0.
