is reading a bool an atomic action?
if (value != true)//here I'm reading bool, then I'm comparing it to the value I'm interested in.
Also, how many processor cycles it takes to read it?
The C++ standard doesn’t enforce any guarantees.
It depends on the processor, and it depends on where it’s being read from (disk swap vs. main memory vs. cache vs. register).
