[WIN32] Atomics and inline assembler - Paxxi - 2014-10-21
in xbmc/threads/Atomics.h/cpp there's a few different cas and Atomic instructions that all use assembler. What I'm curious about is why this is and why they're not using the provided Interlocked* functions in Windows?
I didn't find anything checking the git history.
This currently isn't an issue but it could possibly hurt the x64 effort I believe Karlsson2k is working on?

probable reason: those functions weren't available on the xbox and this is legacy from then. no reason not to use the intrinsics as such.

Too long ago for me, but you get the point https://github.com/Skixbmc/NOX/blob/master/xbmc/threads/Atomics.cpp

But why did you only add it for 64-bit skixbmc?

Reuse code which has proven to work.

fair point
