// This is mostly just a word-sized WTF::Lock. It supports basically everything that lock supports. But as
// a bonus, it atomically counts lock() calls and allows you to perform an optimistic read transaction by
// comparing the count before and after the transaction. If at the start of the transaction the lock is
// not held and the count remains the same throughout the transaction, then you know that nobody could
// have modified your data structure while you ran. You can even use this to optimistically read pointers
// that could become dangling under concurrent writes, if you just revalidate the count every time you're
// about to do something dangerous.
//
// This is largely inspired by StampedLock from Java:
// https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/locks/CountingLock.html
//
// This is simplified a lot compared to StampedLock. Unlike StampedLock, it uses an exclusive lock as a
// fallback. There is no way to acquire a CountingLock for read. The only read access is via optimistic
// read transactions.
//
// CountingLock provides two ways of doing optimistic reads:
//
// - The easy way, where CountingLock does all of the fencing for you. That fencing is free on x86 but
// somewhat expensive on ARM.
// - The hard way, where you do fencing yourself using Dependency. This allows you to be fenceless on both
// x86 and ARM.
//
// The latter is important for us because some GC paths are known to be sensitive to fences on ARM.

// Use this to create a read transaction using dependency chains only. You have to be careful to

// loads that already uses that dependency). Then, to validate the read transaction, you have to pass
// both the count and another Dependency that is based on whatever loads you used to produce the
// output.

// On non-ARM platforms, the Dependency objects don't do anything except for Dependency::fence, which
