But libatomic in the end for that cases uses locking and non-atomic access
anyway. On i?86 64-bit atomics are available starting with i586,
on sparc starting with v9, but I believe on most architectures
if you have atomics at all you don't have atomics larger than word size.
For GCC, if you want in the preprocessor to test if a CPU has 64-bit
atomics, you'd check #ifdef __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_8
Can you use locking instead otherwise?
