fcmpset can have two kinds of semantics, weak and strong. For practical purposes, strong semantics means that if fcmpset fails then the reported current value is always different from the expected value. Weak semantics means that the reported current value may be the same as the expected value even though fcmpset failed. That's a so called "sporadic" failure. I originally implemented atomic_cas expecting strong semantics, but many platforms actually have weak one.
