Therefore, if you find yourself only using the Non-RMW operations of atomic_t, you do not in fact need atomic_t at all and are doing it wrong. -A subtle detail of atomic_set{}() is that it should be observable to the RMW -ops. That is: +A note for the implementation of atomic_set{}() is that it must not break the +atomicity of the RMW ops.
