yes, this keeps coming up again and again.... I think you should take it up with Lawrence Crowl... He was the one, (along with some input from Jeffrey Yasskin) that concluded that it was OK to use it, even if it was just sort of shoehorned in so that we could get 16 byte lock free on the most common architecture...
- load_n.c: - I'm concerned about the CAS on read-only mprotected pages? Why again do we think this is safe? Does the standard explicitly allow this? Or should we just use a lock in this case?Andrew, you had a bit of back-and-forth with someone about this. Can you dig that up?
