     25  * Atomic operations.
     26  *
     27  * IMPORTANT:
     28  * If you are not an expert in concurrent lockless programming, you should
     29  * only be using the atomic lock and reference counting functions in this
     30  * file.  In all other cases you should be protecting your data structures
     31  * with full mutexes.
     32  *
     33  * The list of "safe" functions to use are:
     34  *  SDL_AtomicLock()
     35  *  SDL_AtomicUnlock()
     36  *  SDL_AtomicIncRef()
     37  *  SDL_AtomicDecRef()
     38  *
     39  * Seriously, here be dragons!
     40  * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     41  *
     42  * You can find out a little more about lockless programming and the
     43  * subtle issues that can arise here:
     44  * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee418650%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
     45  *
     46  * There's also lots of good information here:
     47  * http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms
     48  * http://preshing.com/
     49  *
     50  * These operations may or may not actually be implemented using
     51  * processor specific atomic operations. When possible they are
     52  * implemented as true processor specific atomic operations. When that
     53  * is not possible the are implemented using locks that *do* use the
     54  * available atomic operations.
     55  *
     56  * All of the atomic operations that modify memory are full memory barriers.

    142  * with the flag have completed.
