The contents of the <stdatomic.h> header are not listed anywhere,
and <cstdatomic> is listed as a C99 header in chapter 17.
If we intend to use these for compatibility with a future C standard,
we should not use them now.
[ 2009-10 Santa Cruz: ]
NAD EditorialResolved. Solved by N2992.
Proposed resolution:
Remove <cstdatomic> from the C99 headers in table 14.
Add a new header <atomic> to the headers in table 13.
Update chapter 29 to remove reference to <stdatomic.h>
and replace the use of <cstdatomic> with <atomic>.
[ If and when WG14 adds atomic operations to C we can add corresponding headers to table 14 with a TR. ]
