8 // The routines exported by this module are subtle.  If you use them, even if
9 // you get the code right, it will depend on careful reasoning about atomicity
10 // and memory ordering; it will be less readable, and harder to maintain.  If
11 // you plan to use these routines, you should have a good reason, such as solid
12 // evidence that performance would otherwise suffer, or there being no
13 // alternative.  You should assume only properties explicitly guaranteed by the
14 // specifications in this file.  You are almost certainly _not_ writing code
15 // just for the x86; if you assume x86 semantics, x86 hardware bugs and
16 // implementations on other archtectures will cause your code to break.  If you
17 // do not know what you are doing, avoid these routines, and use a Mutex.
18 //
19 // It is incorrect to make direct assignments to/from an atomic variable.
20 // You should use one of the Load or Store routines.  The NoBarrier
21 // versions are provided when no barriers are needed:
22 //   NoBarrier_Store()
23 //   NoBarrier_Load()
24 // Although there are currently no compiler enforcement, you are encouraged
25 // to use these.
