I have not seen his new book, but I am wondering if he mentions how to 
use DWCAS in it with pure C++. I know he knows about it:

actually, read the whole thread where this message resides:

https://groups.google.com/g/lock-free/c/X3fuuXknQF0/m/Ho0H1iJgmrQJ

He calls it DCAS in that thread, buts DCAS and DWCAS are different 
things. So, I am wondering if he mentions it in his 2nd edition.
