Subject: Add atomic_inc()/atomic_dec(), and use them to replace gc_running_mutex
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2da67673279cf015ccc84270f6fd7935f64261a6

Add atomic_inc()/atomic_dec(), and use them to replace gc_running_mutex
This also fixes a memory leak on Windows with -threaded, because we
were calling initMutex(&gc_running_mutex) for each GC, which allocates
memory.
