Yes, I see several platform-neutral .c files. This is different from libatomic_ops - it contains (if not counting several .c files of little real use) only low-level arch-specific primitives. Some other algorithm-rich library could be implemented on the top of it. (And, this approach I appreciate more.)

Cool.

I agree.
But I'm sorry, I'm too busy with BDWGC and my Java VM implementation.
