QB_ATOMIC_INT_COMPARE_AND_EXCHANGE(3)                libqb Programmer's Manual

NAME
       qb_atomic_int_compare_and_exchange - Compares oldval with the integer
       pointed to by atomic and if they are equal, atomically exchanges
       *atomic with newval.


SYNOPSIS
       #include <qb/qbatomic.h>

       int32_t qb_atomic_int_compare_and_exchange(
           volatile int32_t QB_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS   *atomic,  /* a pointer to an integer */
           int32_t                               oldval,  /* the assumed old value of *atomic */
           int32_t                               newval   /* the new value of *atomic*/
       );

PARAMS
       atomic a pointer to an integer

       oldval the assumed old value of *atomic

       newval the new value of *atomic

DESCRIPTION
       Also acts as a memory barrier.

RETURN VALUE
       QB_TRUE, if *atomic was equal oldval. QB_FALSE otherwise.
