Description : meticulous synchronization algorithm verifier for relaxed memory models
Relacy Race Detector is a tool for efficient execution of unit tests for
synchronization algorithms written in C++0x. Every user thread is
represented as a fiber (ucontext). Every time only one fiber is running,
and special scheduler controls interleaving between fibers. With random
scheduler it just executes numerous amount of various interleavings
between threads. With full search scheduler or context-bound scheduler
it systematically executes all possible interleavings between threads.
While executing particular interleaving it makes exhaustive verification
of various aspects of execution (races, accesses to freed memory etc).
.
If no errors found then verification terminates when particular number
of interleavings are verified (for random scheduler), or when all
possible interleavings are verified (for full search scheduler). If
error is found then tool outputs execution history which leads to error
and terminates. Physically Relacy Race Detector is a header-only library
for C++98.
