struct cds::opt::item_counter< Type >

[type-option] Option setter for item counting

Some data structure (for example, queues) has additional feature for item counting. This option allows to set up appropriate item counting policy for that data structure.

Predefined option Type:

• atomicity::empty_item_counter - no item counting performed. It is default policy for many containers
• atomicity::item_counter - the class that provides atomically item counting
• opt::v::sequential_item_counter - simple non-atomic item counter. This item counter is not intended for concurrent containers and may be used only if it is explicitly noted.

You may provide other implementation of atomicity::item_counter interface for your needs.

Note, the item counting in lock-free containers cannot be exact; for example, if item counter for a container returns zero it is not mean that the container is empty. Thus, item counter may be used for statistical purposes only.
