The DWCAS issue aside for a moment. Well, it's on topic wrt C++ itself? Standard atomics and memory barriers... Compiler barriers to boot via atomic_signal_fence: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic_signal_fence I still don't know why its so hard to apply lock-free DWCAS to the std. Well, wrt always lock-free using C++'s own terms... https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic/is_always_lock_free ;^) I love C++'s "sometimes" lock-free wording... Oh wow.
