Hello Matt, Take a look at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/c++mm/atomics.h.txt and at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/c++mm/ in general before you start. The first page describes the atomic library interface which we discussed in April at the Berlin meeting. A stable implementation of the proposed API would definitely be useful although this API may change later. I am also not sure how much can be achieved until compilers support the proposed memory model.
