Detailed Description

template<class T>
class lunchbox::Atomic< T >

A variable with atomic semantics and standalone atomic operations.

Use the C++11 equivalent if you can.

Atomic variables can be modified safely from multiple threads concurrently. They are useful to implement lock-free algorithms.

For implementation reasons, only signed atomic variables are supported, of which int32_t and ssize_t are implemented and typedef'd as a_int32_t and a_ssize_t.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
T lunchbox::Atomic< T >::addAndGet ( T &  value,
const T  increment 
)
static
Returns
the new value after adding the given increment.

template<class T>
static LUNCHBOX_API bool lunchbox::Atomic< T >::compareAndSwap ( T *  value,
const T  expected,
const T  newValue 
)
static

Perform a compare-and-swap atomic operation.

template<class T>
bool lunchbox::Atomic< T >::compareAndSwap ( const T  expected,
const T  newValue 
)

Perform a compare-and-swap atomic operation.

Atomically replaces the value and return true if the value matched the expected.

Returns
true if the new value was set, false otherwise
