Hi Mike, There are a few things that are in the way of merging it into a liburcu release, namely: * An end user with a clearly defined use-case to allow defining a solid API, * Validation that those use-cases are not better covered by some variation of my RCU Judy Array prototype instead, ref.: https://github.com/urcu/userspace-rcu/tree/urcu/rcuja-simple-int * More testing, both within the liburcu project and in terms of use of the API from an application perspective, * Funding for all that work, allowing us to prioritize this effort with respect to our various other projects. Thanks for your interest in the liburcu Red-Black Tree prototype! Please don't hesitate to reach out to EfficiOS if HPE would like to explore supporting this project.
