    The generated function is a direct wrapper of the LLVM cmpxchg with the
    difference that the a int indicate success (1) or failure (0) is returned
    and the last argument is a output pointer for storing the old value.
    Note
    ----
    On failure, the generated function behaves like an atomic load.  The loaded
    value is stored to the last argument.
