(original) (raw)

Doug Lea and I have been working (slowly) on fixing
LinkedBlockingDeque and LinkedBlockingQueue
Although changes are unfinished,
there has been great recent interest in this

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6805775

LinkedBlockingQueue Nodes should unlink themselves before becoming garbage

and so I am publishing them now.
As often happens, the intended "one-line" change
has proved insufficient and

has ballooned into many hours of work.
