So does this mean that Boost.Atomic is perhaps not safe after all?

No, it's perfectly safe on x86. It is also safe on ARM if /volatile:ms is specified.

How do you ensure the use of /volatile:ms? Can users build Boost with /volatile:iso?

You can't, I was just answering John's question.

You used the phrase, "perfectly safe," which suggested that /volatile:ms was somehow ensured on x86.

To be clear, yes, I agree that this needs fixing.

I wouldn't have described it as you did, but things are clear now. ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
