This paper:

	http://www.aristeia.com/Papers/DDJ_Jul_Aug_2004_revised.pdf

describes some of these issues in a C++ context and is written by two 
authors who probably know what they are talking about. Their conclusion 
is that it is pretty much impossible to write correct multi-threaded 
code in C++ without (non-standard) compiler assistance. I'm paraphrasing 
here. It is my understanding, however, that this matter will be 
addressed in C++ 0x.
