How to do it...

We are implementing an application that has a shared counter that is incremented by two concurrent worker threads.

1. In your ~/test working directory, create a subdirectory called memorder.
2. Use your favorite text editor to create a memorder.cpp file in the atomic subdirectory.
3. Now, we put the required headers and define global variables in memorder.cpp: 

#include <atomic>#include <chrono>#include <iostream>#include <thread>#include <vector>std::atomic<bool> running{true};std::atomic<int> counter{0};

4. After global variables are defined, we add our worker function. The function only increments a counter, and then sleeps for a specific time interval:

void worker() { while(running) { counter.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed); ...
