obj with the value of desr and returns the value obj held previously, as if by obj->exchange(desr)
obj with the value of desr and returns the value obj held previously, as if by obj->exchange(desr, order)
| obj | - | pointer to the atomic object to modify |
| desr | - | the value to store in the atomic object |
| order | - | the memory synchronization ordering for this operation: all values are permitted. |
The value held previously by the atomic object pointed to by obj.
noexcept specification: noexceptA spinlock mutex can be implemented in userspace using an atomic exchange operation, similar to std::atomic_flag_test_and_set:
#include <thread>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <atomic>
std::atomic<bool> lock(false); // holds true when locked
// holds false when unlocked
void f(int n)
{
for (int cnt = 0; cnt < 100; ++cnt) {
while(std::atomic_exchange_explicit(&lock, true, std::memory_order_acquire))
; // spin until acquired
std::cout << "Output from thread " << n << '\n';
std::atomic_store_explicit(&lock, false, std::memory_order_release);
}
}
int main()
{
std::vector<std::thread> v;
for (int n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
v.emplace_back(f, n);
}
for (auto& t : v) {
t.join();
}
}Output:
Output from thread 2 Output from thread 6 Output from thread 7 ...<exactly 1000 lines>...
