Abstract
An interlocked object transfer data structure is provided for enabling requests made by multiple threads to update objects in a multi-threaded computing environment to be executed by a single processing thread. An object in the interlocked object transfer data structure contains a pair of flags, which the processing thread manipulates via interlocked operations to manage updates for the object that are requested by multiple threads.
