SwapSwapPosted Apr 2, 2013 20:12 UTC (Tue) by scottwood (subscriber, #74349)In reply to: Swap by tialaramex Parent article: A look at C++14: Papers Part 2
If non-atomic swap is a useful addition, why would you want to slow down swaps that don't need to be atomic by making it automatic, even if it's optional for the implementation? Atomic swap should be a specially requested operation (e.g. using compiler intrinsics), just like most other atomic operations.
