Hi all,

The review of Helge Bahmann's Boost.Atomic library starts today, October 
17th 2011. It will end on October 26th.

I encourage everyone to participate the the discussion on the Boost mailing 
list about this very important library. In addition the code can be reviewed 
line-by-line in code collaborator (http://demo.smartbear.com/boost/)

About Boost.Atomic:
Boost.Atomic is a library that provides atomic data types and operations on 
these data types, as well as memory ordering constraints required for 
coordinating multiple threads through atomic variables. It implements the 
interface as defined by the C++11 standard, but makes this feature available 
for platforms lacking system/compiler support for this particular C++11 
feature.

Please always state in your review, whether you think the library should be
accepted as a boost library!

Additionally please consider giving feedback on the following general
topics:

- What is your evaluation of the design?
- What is your evaluation of the implementation?
- What is your evaluation of the documentation?
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
- Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? On which platform? 
 Did you have any problems?
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick
 reading? In-depth study?
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

Cheers, Tim
Review Manager
