\r
23 // (n is convertible to long)
\r
25 // Effects: Constructs an atomic_count with an initial value of n
\r
29 // Returns: (long) the current value of a
\r
33 // Effects: Atomically increments the value of a
\r
34 // Returns: (long) the new value of a
\r
38 // Effects: Atomically decrements the value of a
\r
39 // Returns: (long) the new value of a
\r
41 // Important note: when --a returns zero, it must act as a
\r
42 // read memory barrier (RMB); i.e. the calling thread must
\r
43 // have a synchronized view of the memory
\r
45 // On Intel IA-32 (x86) memory is always synchronized, so this
\r
46 // is not a problem.
\r
48 // On many architectures the atomic instructions already act as
\r
49 // a memory barrier.
\r
51 // This property is necessary for proper reference counting, since
\r
52 // a thread can update the contents of a shared object, then
\r
53 // release its reference, and another thread may immediately
\r
54 // release the last reference causing object destruction.
\r
56 // The destructor needs to have a synchronized view of the
\r
57 // object to perform proper cleanup.
\r
59 // Original example by Alexander Terekhov:
\r
63 // - a mutable shared object OBJ;
\r
64 // - two threads THREAD1 and THREAD2 each holding
\r
65 // a private smart_ptr object pointing to that OBJ.
\r
67 // t1: THREAD1 updates OBJ (thread-safe via some synchronization)
\r
68 // and a few cycles later (after "unlock") destroys smart_ptr;
\r
70 // t2: THREAD2 destroys smart_ptr WITHOUT doing any synchronization
\r
71 // with respect to shared mutable object OBJ; OBJ destructors
\r
72 // are called driven by smart_ptr interface...
