Module core.atomic
The atomic module provides basic support for lock-free concurrent programming.
Functions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
atomicFence
|
Inserts a full load/store memory fence (on platforms that need it). This ensures that all loads and stores before a call to this function are executed before any loads and stores after the call. |
atomicLoad
|
Loads 'val' from memory and returns it. The memory barrier specified
by 'ms' is applied to the operation, which is fully sequenced by
default. Valid memory orders are MemoryOrder.raw, MemoryOrder.acq,
and MemoryOrder.seq.
|
atomicOp
|
Performs the binary operation 'op' on val using 'mod' as the modifier.
|
atomicStore
|
Writes 'newval' into 'val'. The memory barrier specified by 'ms' is
applied to the operation, which is fully sequenced by default.
Valid memory orders are MemoryOrder.raw, MemoryOrder.rel, and
MemoryOrder.seq.
|
cas
|
Stores 'writeThis' to the memory referenced by 'here' if the value
referenced by 'here' is equal to 'ifThis'. This operation is both
lock-free and atomic.
|
Enums
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
MemoryOrder
|
Specifies the memory ordering semantics of an atomic operation. |
