Request for a typedef for the larger integer type that supports atomic loads and stores.
Hi, I'm locking for a portable integer type that is the larger integer type that supports atomic loads and stores. The sig_atomic_t type defined in <csignal> supports atomic loads and stores but I'm not sure is the larger one. Does boost define such a typedef? If not, could such typedef be included in boost and where? Best, Vicente

Not exactly what you asked, but Boost.Atomic defines macros that allow to detect which types can be used in lock-free operations. In C++11, similar macros are defined in <atomic>.
