Detailed Description

The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter. atomic counter operation.

These are commonly used for building thread-safe "reference" counters for C++ classes. The AtomicCounter depends on the platforms support for "atomic" integer operations, and can alternately substitute a "mutex" if no atomic support exists.
