 * IMPORTANT: If you are not an expert in concurrent lockless programming, you
 * should not be using any functions in this file. You should be protecting
 * your data structures with full mutexes instead.
 *
 * ***Seriously, here be dragons!***
 *
 * You can find out a little more about lockless programming and the subtle
 * issues that can arise here:
 * https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dxtecharts/lockless-programming
 *
 * There's also lots of good information here:
 *
 * - https://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms
 * - https://preshing.com/
 *
 * These operations may or may not actually be implemented using processor
 * specific atomic operations. When possible they are implemented as true
 * processor specific atomic operations. When that is not possible the are
 * implemented using locks that *do* use the available atomic operations.
 *
 * All of the atomic operations that modify memory are full memory barriers.

/**
 * Insert a memory release barrier (macro version).
 *
 * Memory barriers are designed to prevent reads and writes from being
 * reordered by the compiler and being seen out of order on multi-core CPUs.
 *
 * A typical pattern would be for thread A to write some data and a flag, and
 * for thread B to read the flag and get the data. In this case you would
 * insert a release barrier between writing the data and the flag,
 * guaranteeing that the data write completes no later than the flag is
 * written, and you would insert an acquire barrier between reading the flag
 * and reading the data, to ensure that all the reads associated with the flag
 * have completed.
 *
 * In this pattern you should always see a release barrier paired with an
 * acquire barrier and you should gate the data reads/writes with a single
 * flag variable.
 *
 * For more information on these semantics, take a look at the blog post:
 * http://preshing.com/20120913/acquire-and-release-semantics
