+// This file is an internal atomic implementation, use atomicops.h instead.
+//
+// This implementation uses C++11 atomics' member functions. The code base is
+// currently written assuming atomicity revolves around accesses instead of
+// C++11's memory locations. The burden is on the programmer to ensure that all
+// memory locations accessed atomically are never accessed non-atomically (tsan
+// should help with this).
+//
+// TODO(jfb) Modify the atomicops.h API and user code to declare atomic
+//           locations as truly atomic. See the static_assert below.
+//
+// Of note in this implementation:
+//  * All NoBarrier variants are implemented as relaxed.
+//  * All Barrier variants are implemented as sequentially-consistent.
+//  * Compare exchange's failure ordering is always the same as the success one
+//    (except for release, which fails as relaxed): using a weaker ordering is
+//    only valid under certain uses of compare exchange.
+//  * Acquire store doesn't exist in the C11 memory model, it is instead
+//    implemented as a relaxed store followed by a sequentially consistent
+//    fence.
+//  * Release load doesn't exist in the C11 memory model, it is instead
+//    implemented as sequentially consistent fence followed by a relaxed load.
+//  * Atomic increment is expected to return the post-incremented value, whereas
+//    C11 fetch add returns the previous value. The implementation therefore
+//    needs to increment twice (which the compiler should be able to detect and
+//    optimize).
