In this specific case, it looks like TSan completely ignores the asm blocks 
and doesn't see the memory accesses there at all, which is why it reports a 
race between use_count() and the destructor, while these are separated by at 
least two decrements of the count.

That's why it would be interesting to see what it has to say about the 
std::atomic case.
