但是,除此之外没有任何保证;例如,double不保证是原子的 – 这里Interlocked可能会有所帮助.

引用ECMA 335(公共语言基础结构(CLI)分区I到VI)

12.6.6 Atomic reads and writes

A conforming CLI shall guarantee that
read and write access to properly
aligned memory locations no larger
than the native word size (the size of
type native int) is atomic (see
§12.6.2) when all the write accesses
to a location are the same size.
Atomic writes shall alter no bits
other than those written. Unless
explicit layout control (see
Partition II (Controlling Instance
Layout)) is used to alter the default
behavior,data elements no larger
than the natural word size (the size
of a native int) shall be properly
aligned. Object references shall be
treated as though they are stored in
the native word size.

[Note: There is
no guarantee about atomic update
(read-modify-write) of memory,except
for methods provided for that purpose
as part of the class library (see
Partition IV). An atomic write of a
―small data item‖ (an item no larger
than the native word size) is required
to do an atomic read/modify/write on
hardware that does not support direct
writes to small data items. end note]

[Note: There is no guaranteed atomic
access to 8-byte data when the size of
a native int is 32 bits even though
some implementations might perform
atomic operations when the data is
aligned on an 8-byte boundary. end
note]

由于native int必须至少为32位,这是它可以提供的最大保证.
