For example, the lockfree FIFO by Tim Blechmann, reviewed by Harmut, has a typical error. The enqueue function updates the 'next' pointer of a node that may have been removed from the list. Indeed, the code is nonfunctional. It creates the list with a dummy node which will be dequeued first. In general, the Michael/Scott code and derivatives are flawed. Yet, it would be quite useful to have lockfree, multithreaded libraries for standard containers.
