[ovs-dev] [PATCH 04/15] datapath-windows: We don't need wrappers for Interlocked ops

Hi Samuel,

I like the wrapper because it keeps the code looking tidy. With the long
names & casting the code line typically ends up way to long & unwieldy.

InterlockedAdd64((LONGLONG volatile *)
BasePointer->ChildObject->SomeStatVariable, (LONGLONG) val);

Vs
atomic_add64(BasePointer->ChildObject->SomeStatVariable, 10);

Some other benefits that it brings:
    - It is more natural to think of the operation as Œatomic add¹ rather
than Œinterlocked add¹.
    - may provide a way to benchmark perf impact of doing atomics
(especially for stats).
    - Microsoft API¹s probably remains backward compatible, but if they
improve the atomics & come up with new API¹s. We could easily switch over
to the new API without touching a lot of existing code.

I don¹t see a downside to using these wrapper, could you elaborate why you
don¹t like it?
