| 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..
