C atomic_exchange( volatile A* obj, C desired ); | (1) | (since C11) |
C atomic_exchange_explicit( volatile A* obj, C desired, memory_order order ); | (2) | (since C11) |
Atomically replaces the value pointed by obj with desired and returns the value obj held previously. The operation is read-modify-write operation. The first version orders memory accesses according to memory_order_seq_cst, the second version orders memory accesses according to order.
This is a generic function defined for all atomic object types A. The argument is pointer to a volatile atomic type to accept addresses of both non-volatile and volatile (e.g. memory-mapped I/O) atomic variables.C is the non-atomic type corresponding to A..
| obj | - | pointer to the atomic object to modify |
| desired | - | the value to replace the atomic object with |
| order | - | the memory synchronization ordering for this operation: all values are permitted |
The value held previously be the atomic object pointed to by obj.
|
(C11) | swaps a value with the an atomic object if the old value is what is expected, otherwise reads the old value (function) |
