[concurrency-interest] Atomic assignment

[Gregg Wonderly]

So will the compiler be changed to not allow volatile to exist on double/long 
declarations since it does not work?  Or might there be a warning that volatile 
does not produce atomic results on all statements that assign to or reference a 
double/long value?

Sigh...
