GCC interpretation of C11 atomics (DR 459)

[Ruslan Nikolaev via gcc]

Torvald, I think this discussion, indeed, gets pointless. Some of your responses clearly take my comments out of larger picture and context of the discussion.
One thing is clear that either implementation is fine with the standard (formally speaking) simply because the standard allows too much leeway on how you implement atomics. In fact, as I mentioned clang/llvm implements it differently. I find it as a weakness of the standard, actually, because for portable (across different compilers), the only thing you can more or less safely assume are single-width types.
Thank you for your output and discussion.
