This header provides atomic operations , in particular, it's a part of the concurrency support library.

Atomic operations

Operations on atomic types
(C11)
indicates that the given atomic type is lock-free
(macro constant)
(C11)
indicates whether the atomic object is lock-free
(function)
(C11)
stores a value in an atomic object
(function)
(C11)
reads a value from an atomic object
(function)
(C11)
swaps a value with the value of an atomic object
(function)
(C11)
swaps a value with an atomic object if the old value is what is expected, otherwise reads the old value
(function)
(C11)
atomic addition
(function)
(C11)
atomic subtraction
(function)
(C11)
atomic bitwise OR
(function)
(C11)
atomic bitwise exclusive OR
(function)
(C11)
atomic bitwise AND
(function)
Flag type and operations
(C11)
lock-free atomic boolean flag
(struct)
(C11)
sets an atomic_flag to true and returns the old value
(function)
(C11)
sets an atomic_flag to false
(function)
Initialization
(C11)
initializes an existing atomic object
(function)
(C11) (deprecated in C17) (removed in C23)
initializes a new atomic object
(function macro)
(C11)
initializes a new atomic_flag
(macro constant)
Memory synchronization ordering
(C11)
defines memory ordering constraints
(enum)
(C11)
breaks a dependency chain for memory_order_consume
(function macro)
(C11)
generic memory order-dependent fence synchronization primitive
(function)
(C11)
fence between a thread and a signal handler executed in the same thread
(function)
