@mikra That is basically what I was trying to do; have a single API for all platforms. I could share it, once it works, but having a unified API in the standard library would surely be beneficial to many users.
On second thought, I'm not sure I want anyone to think I have any clue about the Windows atomics APIs; pthreads makes perfect sense to me, but the Windows calls are just weird. I'm just guessing what does what based on the online M$ docs.
