Initializing an Atomic Object The initialization itself is not atomic! Either use ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(value), or void atomic_init(volatile A* ptr, C value); Jonas Skeppstedt (js@cs.lth.se) Lecture 6 2013 8 / 70
Memory Order for Atomic Operations The enumerated type memory_order contains the enumerators memory_order_relaxed memory_order_consume memory_order_acquire memory_order_release memory_order_acq_rel memory_order_seq_cst They are used with the functions operating on atomic objects described next. For example: x = atomic_load_explicit(&a, memory_order_relaxed); y = atomic_load(&b); Without _explicit, memory_order_seq_cst is used. As we will see in detail the code becomes faster and more confusing with memory_order_relaxed. Crashing fast is better. Jonas Skeppstedt (js@cs.lth.se) Lecture 6 2013 9 / 70
