25 * Atomic operations.
26 *
27 * IMPORTANT:
28 * If you are not an expert in concurrent lockless programming, you should
29 * only be using the atomic lock and reference counting functions in this
30 * file. In all other cases you should be protecting your data structures
31 * with full mutexes.
32 *
33 * The list of "safe" functions to use are:
34 * SDL_AtomicLock()
35 * SDL_AtomicUnlock()
36 * SDL_AtomicIncRef()
37 * SDL_AtomicDecRef()
38 *
39 * Seriously, here be dragons!
40 * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
41 *
42 * You can find out a little more about lockless programming and the
43 * subtle issues that can arise here:
44 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee418650%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
45 *
46 * There's also lots of good information here:
47 * http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms
48 * http://preshing.com/
49 *
50 * These operations may or may not actually be implemented using
51 * processor specific atomic operations. When possible they are
52 * implemented as true processor specific atomic operations. When that
53 * is not possible the are implemented using locks that *do* use the
54 * available atomic operations.
55 *
56 * All of the atomic operations that modify memory are full memory barriers.

74 *
75 * The atomic locks are efficient spinlocks using CPU instructions,
76 * but are vulnerable to starvation and can spin forever if a thread
77 * holding a lock has been terminated. For this reason you should
78 * minimize the code executed inside an atomic lock and never do
79 * expensive things like API or system calls while holding them.
80 *
81 * The atomic locks are not safe to lock recursively.
82 *
83 * Porting Note:
84 * The spin lock functions and type are required and can not be
85 * emulated because they are used in the atomic emulation code.

163 * Memory barriers are designed to prevent reads and writes from being
164 * reordered by the compiler and being seen out of order on multi-core CPUs.
165 *
166 * A typical pattern would be for thread A to write some data and a flag, and
167 * for thread B to read the flag and get the data. In this case you would
168 * insert a release barrier between writing the data and the flag,
169 * guaranteeing that the data write completes no later than the flag is
170 * written, and you would insert an acquire barrier between reading the flag
171 * and reading the data, to ensure that all the reads associated with the flag
172 * have completed.
173 *
174 * In this pattern you should always see a release barrier paired with an
175 * acquire barrier and you should gate the data reads/writes with a single
176 * flag variable.
177 *
