  From June 15, 2016. They reference GCC 7.1 as being a year away...

    Is this a thing now?

      Downvotes? I merely meant to ask if linux implemented C11 atomics or not...

    https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/ https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/: GCC 7.1 May 2, 2017 (changes, documentation) Pretty close.

  I think the ISO C and C++ definition of memory_order_consume will need to be fixed first. Perhaps recent progress has been made, but see for example "C++ P0371R1: Temporarily discourage memory_order_consume" and references therein: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0371r1.html http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p037...

  Maybe the best thing to do is to write a really, really, really good test suite for the C11 compiler first.

  From reading the article it seems they present many negatives and no benefits.
