In the future, -matomic may become enabled by default, when enough wasm engines generally support it. However, -mthread-model single/posix may still be useful to control independently, because even with wasm engines supporting atomic, there are reasons users might still want to compile their apps single-threaded: access to linear memory with no declared max, lower overall code size, or other things.


" -mthread-model posix is about the C++ interpretation" .. are you sure about that?  `git grep getThreadModel` shows basically no use of this.

Digging a little deeper..  The thread-model thing was introduced here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D4984 and was clearly related to the underlying architecture.  Apart from wasm nobody else has ever starting using this is given it any other meaning as far as I can tell.  Maybe I'm missing something?
