So am I.

Sure; I hope the Standard will be flexible enough (e.g.; well, C++ is a 
syslang?)  to allow programmers to deal with signals. Well, I have a 
full-blown prototype of an atomic reference counted pointer in IA32 assembly 
language. It signal safe in about 80% of its API:

(100% full source code...)

http://appcore.home.comcast.net/vzoom/refcount/doc/
(pre-alpha fairly detailed per-API function documentation...)


I dream of a day that I can use C++ to create my counting algorithm... Well, 
assembly language is perfect! When C++ compiler gets the 'standard' ability 
to be as stable as an assembler wrt. lock-free programming in general... 
Well, good times all around indeed!!!

:^)

Any thoughts?
