[Mono-dev] Interlocked

[Vladimir Giszpenc]

Hi,

This is probably a question for Microsoft, but since I am using Mono I
will ask you fine folks.  System.Threading.Interlocked.Read()
addresses 64 bit atomicity.  If I use the shortcut "int", is it
System.Int32 or System.Int64 depending on the architecture the code is
compiled on?  If that is the case, shouldn't I be able to use the
Read() with ints as well as long?  Or is reading any kind of int
always an atomic operation?  I have never even been near a 64 bit
machine, but I feel I should write code that is portable.

Thanks for your patience,

Vlad
