implementation of the atomic increment and decrement into a implementation
file.
This way inlining and compiler optimization can no longer happen for these
implementations, but it fixes compilation on win32 msvc targets. I expect
that this is still faster than with with mutexes.
Also the i386 gcc target gets atomic operations with this patch. By using an
implementation file we can guarantee that we have the right compiler flags
available."
atomic related compile failures with msvs2005. Attached changes to make win32
really use the atomic stuff. There are pointer typecast problems and some
historic alignment restrictions that I just took from a previous similar
implementation of mine without looking deep enough. "
