not sure what you mean, but on sparcs, int writes are
not atomic unless
you only use the lower 24 bits.
right, this is exactly the point! 32 bits int might be atomic on a certain
platform, but i have no idea about many others.
in the meantime, a part from joq suggestion of LFDS, and niklas mention of
qt-core libs, i also came accross th glib atomic operations
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Atomic-Operations.html
and the MacOSX atomic functions as in CarbonCore/DriverSynchronization.h
