title: Are incrementers / decrementers (var++, var--) etc thread safe?
body: <p>Inspired by this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/443423/in-complexity-analysis-why-is-considered-to-be-2-operations">In Complexity Analysis why is ++ considered to be 2 operations?</a></p>
  
  <p>Take the following psuedo code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class test
  {
     int _counter;
     void Increment()
     {
       _counter++;
     } 
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would this be considered thread safe on an x86 architechure? Further more are the Inc / Dec assembly instructions thread safe? </p>
