Atomic threadsafe operations are not a "non-C topic". Nor are questions 
about them non-topical. The problem is that the newsgroup deals only in 
****table C, so the on-topic answer isn't terribly useful, essentially "you

can do a bit with volatile but for a real answer try comp.unix.programmer
/ 
a Microsoft / embedded group."
