Detailed Description
The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter.
These are commonly used for building thread-safe 'reference' counters for C++ classes. The AtomicCounter depends on the platforms support for 'atomic' integer operations, and can alternately substitute a 'mutex' if no atomic support exists.
