Atomic operations library

If the macro constant __STDC_NO_ATOMICS__(C11) is defined by the compiler, the header <stdatomic.h>, the keyword _Atomic, and all of the names listed here are not provided.

Types

Defined in header <stdatomic.h>
memory_order (C11)	defines memory ordering constraints (enum)
atomic_flag (C11)	lock-free atomic boolean flag (struct)

Macros

Defined in header <stdatomic.h>
ATOMIC_BOOL_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_CHAR_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_CHAR16_T_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_CHAR32_T_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_WCHAR_T_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_SHORT_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_LONG_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_LLONG_LOCK_FREE ATOMIC_POINTER_LOCK_FREE (C11)	indicates that the given atomic type is lock-free (macro constant)
ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT (C11)	initializes a new atomic_flag (macro constant)
ATOMIC_VAR_INIT (C11)	initializes a new atomic object (function macro)
kill_dependency (C11)	breaks a dependency chain for memory_order consume (function macro)

Functions

Defined in header <stdatomic.h>
atomic_flag_test_and_set atomic_flag_test_and_set_explicit (C11)	sets an atomic_flag to true and returns the old value (function)
atomic_flag_clear atomic_flag_clear_explicit (C11)	sets an atomic_flag to false (function)
atomic_init (C11)	initializes an existing atomic object (function)
atomic_is_lock_free (C11)	indicates whether the atomic object is lock-free (function)
atomic_store atomic_store_explicit (C11)	stores a value in an atomic object (function)
atomic_load atomic_load_explicit (C11)	reads a value from an atomic object (function)
atomic_exchange atomic_exchange_explicit (C11)	swaps a value with the value of an atomic object (function)
atomic_compare_exchange_strong atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit atomic_compare_exchange_weak atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit (C11)	swaps a value with the an atomic object if the old value is what is expected, otherwise reads the old value (function)
atomic_fetch_add atomic_fetch_add_explicit (C11)	atomic addition (function)
atomic_fetch_sub atomic_fetch_sub_explicit (C11)	atomic subtraction (function)
atomic_fetch_or atomic_fetch_or_explicit (C11)	atomic logical OR (function)
