Addresses GB-57
The atomic operations facility is closely tied to clause 1and the memory model. It is not easily supplied as anafter-market extension, and should be trivial to implementof a single-threaded serial machine. The consequence ofnot having this facility will be poor interoperability withfuture C++ libraries that memory model concernsseriously, and attempt to treat them in a portable way.
[Resolved in Rapperswil by a motion to directly apply the words from the ballot comment in N3102.]
Proposed resolution:
Add<atomic> to table 15, headers required for afree-standing implementation.
