Nice. Thanks for trying it out. One thing on my mind is whether we should bother with the inline assembly versions. It looks like gcc has had __atomic since 4.7.0 (2012), so I'm not sure we gain much from them. OTOH they are pretty simple and seem unlikely to cause too much trouble. -- Nathan Bossart Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com
