t if you're unlucky and thread 2 starts executing right after (*x == 0)
executed and before x++ x will still be 0
so it will test the expression, will see it's true and will do x++
then thread 1 resumes execution and finishes doing x++
In this case the value of x will be 2 instead of 1, like in the other case
And that's evil
