The boost library's shared_ptr project requires a conditional increment like
inline int atomic_conditional_increment( int * pw )
{
// if( *pw != 0 ) ++*pw;
// return *pw;
}
I'd like to extend shared_ptr to support sparc v8+ processors using the sun
studio compiler (v5.7 and above) using an atomic operation - the current
implementation uses pthreads mutexes and so doesn't scale that well.
While atomic increment/decrements (using cas) are suffiently well documented
for me to be pretty confident in my implementation I would apreciate any input
for an atomic conditional increment.
