Hi,

I'm interesting in implementing a non-blocking queue.   My thought is 
to use a fixed-size array, and increment back of the queue with a 
integer.   I was thinking I could make this non-blocking via an atomic 
increment operation before assigning the pushed value onto the queue.   
 So, my question is:   How would you do an atomic increment in a 
cross-platform way in D?


Thanks!

I think you could use http://dlang.org/phobos/core_atomic.html, 
maybe?

I didn't see a way to get an an increment operation.   atomicOp doesn't 
seem to offer unitary operations.

atomicOp!("+=")(value, 1);

Should work, I believe. Or is that not what you meant?

I was considering using that, but in the channel I was told that would 
be inefficient assembly when it should normally be one operation?
