+Some parts of libcds may depend on DCAS (double-width compare-and-swap) atomic primitive if\r
+the target architecture supports it. For x86, cmake build script enables `-mcx16` compiler flag that\r
+switches DCAS support on. You may manually disable DCAS support with the following command line flags\r
+in GCC/clang (for MS VC++ compiler DCAS is not supported):\r
+  - `-DCDS_DISABLE_128BIT_ATOMIC` - for 64bit build\r
+  - `-DCDS_DISABLE_64BIT_ATOMIC` - for 32bit build\r
+\r
+**All your projects AND libcds MUST be compiled with the same flags - either with DCAS support or without it.**\r
