Are you suggesting an implementation of std::atomic<T>?
I wasn't suggesting that, since I'd never heard of std::atomic<T>. Reading the GNU libstdc++ docs, it appears atomic<T> is a C++ 200x feature, and is only implemented in the latest release (4.4) of libstdc++. (I happen to be using release 4.1.)
Anyway, now that I know about atomic<T>, I suppose I am suggesting an implementation of it. It looks like exactly what I was describing, only much more complete and fully thought-out. I'm not sure how useful it would be to implement such a thing in boost as C++0x is headed into compilers, but there will certainly be plenty of older compilers and standard libraries out there which could benefit from it for quite some time.
In any case, I'm glad to see that better minds than mine have already solved my problem!

I didn't mean it to mock your lack of knowledge; I meant it in terms of "I'd like to use this future feature today; is that what you're planning?" --Jeffrey Bosboom
