a c11 prefix to disambiguate them from the one provided by GCC.
Note: Clang 3.1 also supports the GCC builtins for libstdc++ 4.7 compatibility,
but I don't recommend using them because they are very poorly designed.

builtins, rather than the __asm hack. Somehow I missed the existence of this
builtin originally and only noticed that it was there when I went to implement
it...
Note: Trunk clang now has support for (most of) the C[++]11 atomics stuff.
Please test!

The development version of GCC also supports an atomics interface
similar to Clang's. Change the header file to work as follows:
- __CLANG_ATOMICS: Use Clang's new atomics interface,
- __GNUC_ATOMICS: Use GCC's new atomics interface,
- else: fall back to GCC's __sync interface.
- Make atomic_init() work for GCC, as assigning to structs doesn't work.
- Fix misplaced parenthesis in atomic_is_lock_free() for GCC.
- Make atomic_compare_exchange_strong() for GCC return the proper
boolean value, whether object == expected.
- Fix argument passing in atomic_exchange_explicit() for GCC.

diff that I need to commit soon (once it's been tidied and reviewed a bit).
