<h1><atomic> design</h1>
<!--*********************************************************************-->
<p>
The compiler supplies all of the intrinsics as described below. This list of
intrinsics roughly parallels the requirements of the C and C++ atomics
proposals. The C and C++ library implementations simply drop through to these
intrinsics. Anything the platform does not support in hardware, the compiler
arranges for a (compiler-rt) library call to be made which will do the job with
a mutex, and in this case ignoring the memory ordering parameter (effectively
implementing <tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt>).
</p>
<p>
Ultimate efficiency is preferred over run time error checking. Undefined
behavior is acceptable when the inputs do not conform as defined below.

<p>
If desired the intrinsics taking a single <tt>mem_ord</tt> parameter can default
this argument to 5.
</p>
<p>
If desired the intrinsics taking two ordering parameters can default
<tt>mem_success</tt> to 5, and <tt>mem_failure</tt> to
<tt>translate_memory_order(mem_success)</tt> where
<tt>translate_memory_order(mem_success)</tt> is defined as:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
int
translate_memory_order(int o)
{
switch (o)
{
case 4:
return 2;
case 3:
return 0;
}
return o;
}

<p>
Below are representative C++ implementations of all of the operations. Their
purpose is to document the desired semantics of each operation, assuming
<tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt>. This is essentially the code that will be called
if the front end calls out to compiler-rt.
