| _Bool atomic_flag_test_and_set( volatile atomic_flag* obj ); |
(1) | (since C11) |
| _Bool atomic_flag_test_and_set_explicit( volatile atomic_flag* obj, memory_order order ); |
(2) | (since C11) |
Atomically changes the state of a atomic_flag pointed to by obj to set (true) and returns the previous value. The first version orders memory accesses according to memory_order_seq_cst, the second version orders memory accesses according to order.
The argument is pointer to a volatile atomic flag to accept addresses of both non-volatile and volatile (e.g. memory-mapped I/O) atomic flags.
Parameters
| obj | - | pointer to the atomic flag object to modify |
| order | - | the memory synchronization ordering for this operation: all values are permitted |
Return value
The previous value held by the atomic flag pointed to by obj.
