// Copyright 2012 The Chromium Authors
// Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be

// IMPORTANT NOTE: deprecated. Use std::atomic instead.
//
// Rationale:
// - Uniformity: most of the code uses std::atomic, and the underlying
//   implementation is the same. Use the STL one.
// - Clearer code: return values from some operations (e.g. CompareAndSwap)
//   differ from the equivalent ones in std::atomic, leading to confusion.
// - Richer semantics: can use actual types, rather than e.g. Atomic32 for a
//   boolean flag, or AtomicWord for T*. Bitwise operations (e.g. fetch_or())
//   are only in std::atomic.
// - Harder to misuse: base::subtle::Atomic32 is just an int, making it possible
//   to accidentally manipulate, not realizing that there are no atomic
//   semantics attached to it. For instance, "Atomic32 a; a++;" is almost
//   certainly incorrect.

// For atomic operations on reference counts, see atomic_refcount.h.
// For atomic operations on sequence numbers, see atomic_sequence_num.h.

// The routines exported by this module are subtle.  If you use them, even if
// you get the code right, it will depend on careful reasoning about atomicity
// and memory ordering; it will be less readable, and harder to maintain.  If
// you plan to use these routines, you should have a good reason, such as solid
// evidence that performance would otherwise suffer, or there being no
// alternative.  You should assume only properties explicitly guaranteed by the
// specifications in this file.  You are almost certainly _not_ writing code
// just for the x86; if you assume x86 semantics, x86 hardware bugs and
// implementations on other archtectures will cause your code to break.  If you
// do not know what you are doing, avoid these routines, and use a Mutex.
//
// It is incorrect to make direct assignments to/from an atomic variable.
// You should use one of the Load or Store routines.  The NoBarrier
// versions are provided when no barriers are needed:
//   NoBarrier_Store()
//   NoBarrier_Load()
// Although there are currently no compiler enforcement, you are encouraged
// to use these.
