Detailed Description

The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter.

These are commonly used for building thread-safe 'reference' counters
for C++ classes. The AtomicCounter depends on the platforms support for 'atomic' integer operations, and can alternately substitute a 'mutex'
if no atomic support exists.
