My understanding is that this solution is not correct. As far is I 
understand, the "volatile" qualifier doesn't force the generation of 
appropriate fencing and doesn't protect you from data races: if a thread 
writes the value at the same time another is reading or writing it, you 
are hitting undefined behavior.

I think that atomic values should be used here, and if there is no 
atomic support in the C version we are using, then we should manually 
use Interlocked* functions.

Giovanni.
