1939	request: extend, make atomic_count a public header file	Bryan Green <bryan.d.green@…>	Peter Dimov	"Hello,

I believe this question is for Peter Dimov, as the author of atomic_count and sp_counted_base.

Have you considered making atomic_count.hpp a public header file, i.e. not in the 'detail' subdirectory, and adding some more traditional test-and-set type operations, such as post-increment and operator+=?  This is a generally useful interface, and not easy to replicate on one's own in a portable way.  As for the operations which are missing from the atomic_count class itself, it seems apparent from the implementation files for atomic_count.hpp and sp_counted_base_sync.hpp that these operations are available.

Is this something you are interested in doing, or do you have reservations about such a public class?  Are you interested in help, in the form of patches?  I'd be glad to contribute.  It looks like all the hard work has already been done. :)
