Thanks for cleaning this all up Neil!

Let's add some style-guide info or reference the google style-guide if your changes are already covered.
A few concise examples would be great.


3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/stout/include/stout/os/posix/fork.hpp (line 278)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37876/#comment154504>

    Some places in this review chain you use the provided typedefs `std::atomic_XXX`, whereas elsewhere you provide the explicit specialization `std::atomic<int64_t>`.
    
    Can you put a review at the front of this chain to provide guidance for consistency in the style guide regarding atomics? I would add examples and policies for:
    1. Always using the explicit specializations; or when to use the typedef over the explicit (if you have a good argument for that)
    2. Why we use the explicit functions such as `store(X)` as opposed to the `operator=` as we discussed in person.
    
    Once that's done, please make any changes required in the chain to stay consistent.

Thanks for the review, Joris!

This is a great point -- I'll update the style guide. As far as when to use the explicit specialization over the typedef, I only used an explicit specialization when C++11 doesn't provide a typedef. e.g., C++ doesn't provide std::atomic_int64_t, so I used std::atomic<int64_t> (the standard provides std::atomic_fast_int64_t, which seems a bit painful to type/read). I don't have strong feelings here, though: for example, you could argue that we should always use the explicit specializations for the sake of consistency.
