Why does the atomic_count ++ operator return a "long" for the
win32,solaris and
sync compilers, but returns "void" for all gcc compilers? The --
operator returns a
"long" in all cases, so this would appear to be an annoying, anomalous
behavior.
But hopefully a rational explanation exists.
Also, if it's the value of the ++ that is wanted, two threads could
return the same
value of this atomic counter, since another call is required to obtain
it for the gcc case.
Thank you,
Doug
