atomic_init

Defined in header <stdatomic.h>
void atomic_init( volatile A* obj, C desired );
(since C11)

Initializes the default-constructed atomic object obj with the value desired. The function is not atomic: concurrent access from another thread, even through an atomic operation, is a data race.

This is a generic function defined for all atomic object types A. The argument is pointer to a volatile atomic type to accept addresses of both non-volatile and volatile (e.g. memory-mapped I/O) atomic variables.C is the non-atomic type corresponding to A.

Parameters

obj - pointer to an atomic object to initialize
desired - the value to initialize atomic object with

Return value

(none).
