Compares oldval with the integer pointed to by atomic and if they are equal, atomically exchanges *atomic with newval.

Synopsis

#include <qb/qbatomic.h>

int32_t qb_atomic_int_compare_and_exchange(
    volatile int32_t QB_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS   *atomic,  /* a pointer to an integer */
    int32_t                               oldval,  /* the assumed old value of *atomic */
    int32_t                               newval   /* the new value of *atomic*/
);

Params

atomic a pointer to an integer

oldval the assumed old value of *atomic

newval the new value of *atomic

Description

Also acts as a memory barrier.

Return Value

QB_TRUE, if *atomic was equal oldval. QB_FALSE otherwise.
