// AtomicPointer provides storage for a lock-free pointer.
// Platform-dependent implementation of AtomicPointer:
// - If the platform provides a cheap barrier, we use it with raw pointers
// - If <atomic> is present (on newer versions of gcc, it is), we use
//   a <atomic>-based AtomicPointer.  However we prefer the memory
//   barrier based version, because at least on a gcc 4.4 32-bit build
//   on linux, we have encountered a buggy <atomic> implementation.
//   Also, some <atomic> implementations are much slower than a memory-barrier
//   based implementation (~16ns for <atomic> based acquire-load vs. ~1ns for
//   a barrier based acquire-load).
// This code is based on atomicops-internals-* in Google's perftools:
// http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fbase
