#9314 new Feature Requests
boost shared_ptr should use C++11 atomics when available

Description
If a native assembly lock-free version is unavailable, boost should use native C++11 atomics if the library has them. This will far more reliably pick an efficient implementation for shared_ptr in cases where the optimized assembly version is unavailable and where sync support may be unavailable/not detected properly.

https://github.com/boostorg/smart_ptr/commit/fed15ad8c50921cbfc0365156e4e4f4454dc1b91 adds support for
#define BOOST_SP_USE_STD_ATOMIC
which forcesstd::atomic
to be used. This will eventually become the default whenstd::atomic
is autodetected to be present and working.
