According to:

http://tim.klingt.org/boost_lockfree/lockfree/reference.html#lockfree.reference.boost__lockfree__atomic_int.members.prefix_operators

Shouldn't ++x return the value *after* incrementing?

#include<iostream>

int main(void) {
   int x = 3;
   std::cout << ++x << std::endl; // prints "4"
}

I haven't tested the actual library though, so I hope this is just an
error in the docs.
