Concurrency
Figaro offers a great deal of support for multi-threaded and multi-process applications even when transactions are not in use. Many of Figaro's handles are thread-safe, or can be made thread-safe by providing the appropriate flag at handle creation time, and Figaro provides a flexible locking subsystem for managing containers in a concurrent application. Further, Figaro provides a robust mechanism for detecting and responding to deadlocks.
