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.)
The best reference is the current C++ Standard Working Paper. Go to http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/ and select "Current C++ Standard Working Paper" in the "Other information" section. The original proposal is available at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2427.html, and it is very helpful for understanding the library. But changes are being made at each meeting, so the current working paper is the final word. HTH, --Beman
