This version of FastMM5 includes experimental support for macOS. The ARM CPU (M1, M2, ...) architecture is weakly ordered. This could lead to really strange access violations when using threads. I added calls to MemoryBarrier to fix these. I'm not sure if I found all locations that need this. It might still be helpful for finding memory problems in the debug mode. So be careful when using this in production mode.
