Detailed Description

An atomic integer class.

Useful for threadsafe smart pointers (and probably other stuff too).

Currently implemented in terms of the __exchange_and_add and __atomic_add functions in libstdc++.

Public Methods
	atomic (int val=0)
	Constructs an atomic integer with a given initial value.
word	exchange_and_add (int addend)
	Atomically increases the value of the integer and returns its old value.
void	add (int addend)
	Atomically increases the value of the integer.
void	operator+= (int addend)
	Atomically increases the value of the integer.
void	operator-= (int addend)
	Atomically decreases the value of the integer.
void	operator++ ()
	Atomically increments the value of the integer.
void	operator-- ()
	Atomically decrements the value of the integer.
int	operator++ (int)
	Atomically increments the value of the integer and returns its old value.
int	operator-- (int)
	Atomically decrements the value of the integer and returns its old value.
	operator int () const
	Returns the value of the integer.
