    i'm looking at this article: https://woboq.com/blog/introduction-to-lockfree-programming.html
    and here's the code presented there: https://hastebin.com/xazimuyequ.cpp

    when i run it, it works 1/10 times, 9/10 times it crashes on line 60:
    while (!m_head.testAndSetOrdered(n, n->next));

    the exception is a read access violation for n->next. why does it behave like this?

        i wrote this in console application but that shouldn't be a problem, no?
        i tried with both visual studio and qt creator, both behave the same. qt creator crashes less often, though.
