This issue is from 2013, and AFAICT, there is still no clear statement of what guarantees the sync/atomic functions make. I know that they should be rarely used. I know that the edge cases for atomic operations are complicated to define, hence all the options for C++ atomics. But on the rare occasion that I do need to use them, I always feel a lot of trepidation, because I can really make few, if any guarantees based on the documentation. </rant>
