A test c++ code that shows the bug. It spawns 8 threads.

The following snippet does not work as expected.

struct Node { Node* next; };

std::atomic<Node*> head (nullptr);

// Is like free
void push (void* p)
{
    Node* n = (Node*) p;
    n->next = head.load (); 
    while (!head.compare_exchange_strong (n->next, n));
}

// is like malloc
void* pop ()
{
    Node* n = head.load (); 
    while (n &&
          !head.compare_exchange_strong (n, n->next));

    return n ? n : malloc (SIZE);
}

The attached file with the driver crashes every 1 in 5 times.
