Yes. It is broken.
shared int x;
++x; // error, must use atomicOp.
x = x + 1; // OK(!)
How is this broken and how should it behave? -- Andrei
The problem is no one knows if it's broken or not because there
is no official documentation saying what shared is supposed to do.
This is all we get
"The shared attribute modifies the type from T to shared(T), the
same way as const does."
