To prevent unintended non-atomic access to these variables, this header
file places the atomic variable in a structure when using an older
compiler.
.Pp
When using GCC on architectures on which it lacks support for built-in
atomic intrinsics, these macros may emit function calls to fallback
routines.
These fallback routines are only implemented for 32-bits and 64-bits
datatypes, if supported by the CPU.
