The PyPy project doesn't count as an "actual user"?  It's not just an
idea in the air.  It's beta code that is already released (and open
source):

http://morepypy.blogspot.ch/2014/04/stm-results-and-second-call-for.html

The core library is available from there (see the test suite in c7/test/):

https://bitbucket.org/pypy/stmgc

I already reacted to the discussion here by making remap_file_pages()
optional (#undef USE_REMAP_FILE_PAGES) but didn't measure the
performance impact of this, if any (I expect it to be reasonable).
Still, if you're looking for a real piece of code using
remap_file_pages(), it's one.


A bientÃt,

Armin.
