Compare_and_swap is otherwise not available. Defining AO_ASSUME_VISTA will make compare_double_and_swap_double available as well. +Please note that MS compiler for x86 does not align AO_double_t on an 8-byte +boundary, thus to avoid an undefined behavior, an AO_double_t (volatile) +variable should be declared with AO_DOUBLE_ALIGN attribute if the variable +reference is passed to an AO primitive (the attribute is not applicable to +arguments and pointers).
