Yes, but with transactional memory, they're *much* smarter. A lot of
tricks aren't needed any more (f.e. aba-counters). And when you've got
a timeout-implementation (which aren't necessary when you use transac-
tional memory only between threads of the same process), lock-free
processing is much more efficient than whith this idiotic (D)CAS-algo-
rithms.
