SILC Atomic Operations Interface Header: silcatomic.h DESCRIPTION
     SILC Atomic operations interface provides utility functions to perform
     simple operations with integers atomically.  This enables fast integer
     additions and subtractions safely in multithreaded environment.  It is
     especially suited for reference counters and similar and is much faster
     than using locking.  This interface supports 8, 16 and 32 bit integers
     and 32 or 64 bit pointers.

     On some platforms this interface actually use mutual exclusion lock
     instead of true atomic operations, leading into some performace penalty.
     Also on some platforms the 8 and 16 bit integers are actually 32 bit
     integers.

     Fast operations are supported on: x86, x86_64, ia64, PPC
