osl/interlck.h is part of the stable URE interface. While the
osl_atomic_inc-/decrement macros are marked as INTERNAL and should
arguably not be called directly by external code, any changes to the
file would need to be made in a way that it continues to work both as a
C file and with C++03 compilers. I would suggest just leaving the file
alone (unless there is evidence that performance improvement is required
and possible for some scenario that needs to go through these macros).
However, outside the stable URE interface, there should be no good
reason not to use C++11 atomics (assuming all relevant compilers support
them fine by now).
