Comment (by pdimov):

 The Microsoft documentation is wrong in this case. If we change the code
 to be wrong as well, the signatures will no longer match the ones in
 <windows.h>. The documentation for !InterlockedExchange

 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683590.aspx


 correctly specifies the signature as taking LONG volatile*. BTW, you can't
 declare a function parameter as long * volatile, the volatile is ignored.
