Below is an example of a wait-free algorithm: void increment_reference_counter(rc_base* obj) atomic_increment(obj->rc); void decrement_reference_counter(rc_base* obj) if (0 == atomic_decrement(obj->rc)) delete obj; Each thread is able to execute the function in a bounded number of steps regardless of any external factors.
