Re: [boost] boost::atomic<T> foo;

Hi,

I looked through Boost.Threads and Boost.Interprocess libraries, but (as far as I can tell) none of them offers me simple:

class Foo { boost::atomic<int> bar; }

which would mean that *ALL* attempts to access bar would be atomic, eg. bar=10;

I am also wondering if there is any ongoing efforts to bring such atomic operations library into boost, which is in new C++ draft spec now: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2723.pdf

Am I left with troublesome usage of boost::mutex to block all that access attempts by myself?

AFAK, it is the only choose, for now.
