      9 // you get the code right, it will depend on careful reasoning about atomicity
     10 // and memory ordering; it will be less readable, and harder to maintain.  If
     11 // you plan to use these routines, you should have a good reason, such as solid
     12 // evidence that performance would otherwise suffer, or there being no
     13 // alternative.  You should assume only properties explicitly guaranteed by the
     14 // specifications in this file.  You are almost certainly _not_ writing code
     15 // just for the x86; if you assume x86 semantics, x86 hardware bugs and
     16 // implementations on other archtectures will cause your code to break.  If you
     17 // do not know what you are doing, avoid these routines, and use a Mutex.
     18 //
     19 // It is incorrect to make direct assignments to/from an atomic variable.
     20 // You should use one of the Load or Store routines.  The NoBarrier
     21 // versions are provided when no barriers are needed:
     22 //   NoBarrier_Store()
     23 //   NoBarrier_Load()
     24 // Although there are currently no compiler enforcement, you are encouraged
     25 // to use these.
