Detailed Description

Atomic counters for threaded applications.

Author:

Wolfgang Wieser ] wwieser (a) gmx <*> de [

Atomic counters (integers) can be used in many cases instead of mutex-protected counters since they are faster.
Common use is resource counting.

The class AtomicInt implements an atomic integer counter which can be used just as a normal integer with operations increment, decrement, addition and subtraction. Furthermore, special routines to atomically decrement or subtract and then checking the result against zero are implemented.
