Hi Jose,
I guess my statement was misinterpreted.  What i meant by atomic here
is that if we have lets say an integer i with initial value 0 .Thread
T1 unconditionally modified to 2 (i = 2)  then T2 at any time will read
it as either 0 or 2 but nothing in between, I agree that with c++
objects this might not be true. I still don't understand why a function
who is just checking/reading the value of a global variable can't be
reentrant ?
