OK. I do see that with multi-processor archs with lacking automatic 
memory barriers this in fact might be violated for misaligned variables. 
(I don't doubt that such archs do exist.)
("thread save" in the sense that a write of the value can't be 
interrupted by another thread and hence the other thread always reads 
the coherent value - either the one before the writing or the one after 
writing) .
Thanks for clearness.
