GCC offers some builtins which start with __atomic_* (older versions of GCC [4.2.x-4.6.x] only offer __sync_* builtins functions). C++11 offers some atomic functions too (which in turn calls the __atomic_* functions). I don't remember if C11 offers those similar functions or not. Thanks, Andrew Pinski
