Emit an error when mixing <stdatomic.h> and <atomic>
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Atomics in C and C++ are incompatible at the moment and mixing the
headers can result in confusing error messages.

Emit an error explicitly telling about the incompatibility. Introduce
the macro `__ALLOW_STDC_ATOMICS_IN_CXX__` that allows to choose in C++
between C atomics and C++ atomics.
