How can I implement lock-free data structures in C++?

Implementing lock-free data structures in C++ involves using atomic operations and memory models. Are you familiar with C++11 or later?

Yes, I am familiar with C++11. What atomic operations should I use?

You can use std::atomic for atomic operations. For example, std::atomic<int> allows you to perform atomic increments and loads.

Can you give me an example of a lock-free stack?

Sure! A lock-free stack can be implemented using a linked list where each node has an atomic pointer to the next node. Would you like to see the code?

Yes, please share the code for a lock-free stack implementation.
