ck_epoch documentation out of date about ck HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi,

I just checked the manpages, and beside ck_epoch_poll which was indeed outdated and claimed an extra arg, I see no error, can you be more specific ?

Thanks !

Basically any place you see a NULL passed to a ck_epoch function. The two that stand out are ck_epoch_begin and ck_epoch_end. The man pages make no mention of a ck_epoch_section_t that I saw (I may have overlooked it).

They do reference the argument, see http://concurrencykit.org/doc/ck_epoch_begin.html http://concurrencykit.org/doc/ck_epoch_end.html - however, section is incorrectly documented as mandatory. Will point out it isn't mandatory and close.

Thanks.

This is the main code example I used as reference. It doesn't use sections.

I didn't look at the ck_epoch_{begin, end} because they had no usage example.

I see now. I'm sorry for the noise. What is the benefit of the epoch being refreshed on recursion?

from ck.

Feel a bit sheepish. Will close and just assume that you'll update the epoch_barrier example and clarify the benefit of epoch refresh.

haha, please don't feel sheepish. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
