Description Benjamin Otte (Company) 2003-05-21 15:44:28 UTC 
The only method to currently compare atomic values is by using 
dec_and_test, which makes it useless for anything but refcounting.

I'd want to use it for state changes.

Bug 63621 would offer implementations for some archs which are save to use 
I think.

btw: Should I open a seperate bug to stay close to glibs design so we can 
one day remove the atomic stuff and use typedef GAtomic GstAtomicInt?

I think we should stay as close as possible to glib, so that we can
easily share code back and forth until we upgrade to a glib that
supports GAtomic.

-EBCAK Error between chair and keyboard

This bug is, of course, unlrelated to 112143.

Close this, because glib has CAS now.
