//  typedef <implementation-defined> boost::detail::atomic_count;
//
//  atomic_count a(n);
//
//    (n is convertible to long)
//
//    Effects: Constructs an atomic_count with an initial value of n
//
//  a;
//
//    Returns: (long) the current value of a
//
//  ++a;
//
//    Effects: Atomically increments the value of a
//    Returns: nothing
//
//  --a;
//
//    Effects: Atomically decrements the value of a
//    Returns: (long) zero if the new value of a is zero,
//      unspecified non-zero value otherwise (usually the new value)
//
//    Important note: when --a returns zero, it must act as a
//      read memory barrier (RMB); i.e. the calling thread must
//      have a synchronized view of the memory
//
//    On Intel IA-32 (x86) memory is always synchronized, so this
//      is not a problem.
//
//    On many architectures the atomic instructions already act as
//      a memory barrier.
//
//    This property is necessary for proper reference counting, since
//      a thread can update the contents of a shared object, then
//      release its reference, and another thread may immediately
//      release the last reference causing object destruction.
//
//    The destructor needs to have a synchronized view of the
//      object to perform proper cleanup.
//
//    Original example by Alexander Terekhov:
//
//    Given:
//
//    - a mutable shared object OBJ;
//    - two threads THREAD1 and THREAD2 each holding 
//      a private smart_ptr object pointing to that OBJ.
//
//    t1: THREAD1 updates OBJ (thread-safe via some synchronization)
//      and a few cycles later (after "unlock") destroys smart_ptr;
//
//    t2: THREAD2 destroys smart_ptr WITHOUT doing any synchronization 
//      with respect to shared mutable object OBJ; OBJ destructors
//      are called driven by smart_ptr interface...
