This is why I didn't use "qatomic". "atomic" feels too common to prefix with just a single letter. But I grepped /usr/include and code searched GitHub. I can't find any uses of "qatomic_" so it looks safe. FWIW Qt does have qatomic.h but doesn't use the name for identifiers in the code. Let's do it! Stefan
