使用布尔标志阻止线程在C中运行是否安全?#

我主要关心的是布尔标记…在没有任何同步的情况下使用它是否安全?我在一些地方读到它是原子的(包括文档)。

class MyTask
{
    private ManualResetEvent startSignal;
    private CountDownLatch latch;
    private bool running;

    MyTask(CountDownLatch latch)
    {
        running = false;
        this.latch = latch;
        startSignal = new ManualResetEvent(false);
    }

    // A method which runs in a thread
    public void Run()
    {
        startSignal.WaitOne();
        while(running)
        {
            startSignal.WaitOne();
            //... some code
        }
        latch.Signal();
    }

    public void Stop()
    {
        running = false;
        startSignal.Set();
    }

    public void Start()
    {
        running = true;
        startSignal.Set();
    }

    public void Pause()
    {
        startSignal.Reset();
    }

    public void Resume()
    {
        startSignal.Set();
    }
}

以这种方式设计任务是否安全?有什么建议,改进,意见吗?

注意:我写了我的习惯 CountDownLatch 以防你想知道我从哪儿弄来的。

更新:
这也是我的倒计时:

public class CountDownLatch 
{
    private volatile int m_remain;
    private EventWaitHandle m_event;

    public CountDownLatch (int count)
    {
        if (count < 0)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
        m_remain = count;
        m_event = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        if (m_remain == 0)
        {
            m_event.Set();
        }
    }

    public void Signal()
    {
        // The last thread to signal also sets the event.
        if (Interlocked.Decrement(ref m_remain) == 0)
            m_event.Set();
    }

    public void Wait()
    {
        m_event.WaitOne();
    }
}
