Both VolatileRead/Write and InterockExchange are atomic and perform an
implicit memory barrier.

VolatileRead/Write an CompareExchange accomplish the same thing.  What are
you trying to accomplish?

The call to Thread.VolatileWrite in C# should be:
Int32 val;
Thread.VolatileWrite(ref val, valueToWrite).

The call to VolatileRead should also not use the C++ scope resolution
operator; but other than that :-).
