Open Portable Atomics v1.0.0 released


We just released the first official release of the OpenPA project, v1.0.0. If you ever are thinking about writing inline assembly to perform atomic operations (compare-and-swap, fetch-and-increment, etc), then think about using OPA instead. It provides a consistent interface to primitive atomic operations via C functions and macros across multiple compilers and architectures. We have a solid range of platforms at this point, but we intend to add more in the future and we are always willing to accept contributions if you have a particular platform you would like to support.

You can download openpa-1.0.0 here if you are interested in playing around with it.
