Provides implementations for atomic memory update operations on a number of
architectures. This allows direct use of these in reasonably portable code.
Unlike earlier similar packages, this one explicitly considers memory barrier
semantics, and allows the construction of code that involves minimum overhead
across a variety of architectures.
It should be useful both for high performance multi-threaded code which can't
afford to use the standard locking primitives, or for code that has to access
shared data structures from signal handlers. For details, see README.txt in
the distribution.
