Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class RWTAtomic< T * >

RWTAtomic provides atomic manipulation of an underlying pointer type T. All operations performed on an RWTAtomic instance are atomic.

Example

RWTAtomic<char*> a = RW_ATOMIC_INIT(0);
char* prev = a.swap(new char('a'));

Note

While copy construction and assignment are not prohibited, these operations are not performed in an atomic manner, and may result in undefined behavior. These operations may be prohibited in a future release and should be avoided.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

bool RWTAtomic< T * >::compareAndSwap ( T *&  expected, T *  desired, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  )

inline

Compares expected to self. If expected is equal to self, desired is assigned to self and true is returned. If expected is not equal to self, self is assigned to expected and false is returned.

This function is equivalent to:

if (self == expected) {
    self = desired;
    return true;
}
else {
    expected = self;
    return false;
}

template<typename T >

bool RWTAtomic< T * >::compareAndSwap ( T *&  expected, T *  desired, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  ) volatile

inline

Compares expected to self. If expected is equal to self, desired is assigned to self and true is returned. If expected is not equal to self, self is assigned to expected and false is returned.

This function is equivalent to:

if (self == expected) {
    self = desired;
    return true;
}
else {
    expected = self;
    return false;
}

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::fetchAndAdd ( ptrdiff_t  val, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  )

inline

Adds val to self. Returns the previous value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

T prev = self;
self += val;
return prev;

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::fetchAndAdd ( ptrdiff_t  val, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  ) volatile

inline

Adds val to self. Returns the previous value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

T prev = self;
self += val;
return prev;

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::fetchAndSub ( ptrdiff_t  val, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  )

inline

Subtracts val from self. Returns the previous value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

T prev = self;
self -= val;
return prev;

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::fetchAndSub ( ptrdiff_t  val, RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst  ) volatile

inline

Subtracts val from self. Returns the previous value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

T prev = self;
self -= val;
return prev;

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::load ( RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst ) const

inline

Returns the current value of self.

Note

order values of rw_mem_order_release and rw_mem_order_acq_rel are not supported and will result in undefined behavior.

template<typename T >

T* RWTAtomic< T * >::load ( RWAtomicMemoryOrder  order = rw_mem_order_seq_cst ) const volatile

inline

Returns the current value of self.

Note

order values of rw_mem_order_release and rw_mem_order_acq_rel are not supported and will result in undefined behavior.

template<typename T >

RWTAtomic< T * >::operator T * ( ) const

inline

Returns the current value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

self.load();

template<typename T >

RWTAtomic< T * >::operator T * ( ) const volatile

inline

Returns the current value of self.

This function is equivalent to:

self.load();
