Using Modern C++ In Anger
summary
Aeron implements a log‑replicated messaging transport with a Java media driver and a C++ client, achieving about 32 million messages/sec C++→C++ (Java ~30M, C ~15M) for IPC; core design enforces garbage‑free steady state, lock‑free paths, and explicit ownership via shared/unique/weak pointers. C++ adoption uses lambdas, std::thread, CMake and Google Test, and adds a custom Java‑memory‑model atomics layer to match Java ordering rules; a C++ media driver is under development.
