<snip> As I mentioned earlier in this thread, GCC supports 2 types of atomics. "Use GCC atomic builtins" does not help distinguish between them. In "GCC's C11 atomic builtins" - "C11" indicates which atomics we are using, "atomic builtins" indicates that we are NOT using APIs from stdatomic.h
if you need a term to distinguish the two sets of atomics in gcc you can qualify it with "Memory Model Aware" which is straight from the gcc manual.
