Dependencies

• svn This should be available on most machines/distributions
• The standard make utility
• A C++ compiler, ideally one like gcc-4.4 that can be configured to conform to either the C++98 standard or the draft C++0X standard.
• Reitveld's upload.py: For getting patches code reviewed. Put this in your path.

How to build

You can build using the supplied Makefile.

$ mkdir gcl-whatever
$ cd gcl-whatever
$ svn checkout https://google-concurrency-library.googlecode.com/svn/ google-concurrency-library
# build libraries
$ make
# run tests
$ make test

How to contribute

Overview

Before committing changes to the central repository, you will need to have them reviewed. To do this, use http://codereview.appspot.com/use_uploadpy to upload your patch to Reitveld so someone can review it. Running upload.py with no arguments will create a new patch from your local uncommitted changes. If you've already uploaded a patch, say to http://codereview.appspot.com/164050, then run upload.py -i 164050 to update it.

Getting changes approved

When using upload.py with no arguments, it won't send email to let anyone know there's a review waiting for them. Go to the codereview.appspot.com URL it gives you, click "Edit Issue" to fill in the description and reviewers (make sure this includes google-concurrency-library@googlegroups.com to archive all reviews), and then click the "Publish+Mail Comments ('m')" link to send the review request. The first mail will automatically include the change's description.

If you're not a committer, all you have to do is keep uploading new versions until the reviewers are happy, and then they'll commit it for you.

If you are a committer, once your change is reviewed, run svn commit to commit your changes to the main repository. If prompted for a password, you will need your Google Code password from http://code.google.com/hosting/settings.

Editing wiki

If you don't want to edit the wiki from the browser, do this:

• Checkout the wiki files from the repository. svn checkout https://google-concurrency-library.googlecode.com/svn/wiki (This will create a new directory with all wiki pages. Do it once)
• Edit the wiki page using your favourite editor.
• Commit the changes as described above.
• hg commit -m "Edited wiki" && hg push
