    Rewrite vlc_atomic_* using the new atomic operations · 535e8b60
    Rémi Denis-Courmont authored
    This way, the official atomic functions will be used when available,
    rather than VLC's own implementation.
    
    This commit also enables proper atomic operations on some platforms
    or with some toolchains. __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4 is not
    defined on some platforms such as ARM Linux, nor by other compilers
    than GCC such as LLVM/clang. Then atomic operations wrongly fell
    back to the lame mutex-based implementation.
    
    This will break support for some old compilers and old or irrelevant
    instruction set architectures. They would need to provide replacement
    for the Intel-originated __sync_* builtin functions.
