with	what to swap it with
cmp	the value to compare it to

Returns

the old value of *mem

apr_atomic_cas64()

apr_uint64_t apr_atomic_cas64	(	volatile apr_uint64_t *	mem,
		apr_uint64_t	with,
		apr_uint64_t	cmp
	)

compare an apr_uint64_t's value with 'cmp'. If they are the same swap the value with 'with'

Parameters

mem	pointer to the value
with	what to swap it with
cmp	the value to compare it to

Returns

the old value of *mem

apr_atomic_casptr()

void* apr_atomic_casptr	(	volatile void **	mem,
		void *	with,
		const void *	cmp
	)

compare the pointer's value with cmp. If they are the same swap the value with 'with'

Parameters

mem	pointer to the pointer
with	what to swap it with
cmp	the value to compare it to

Returns

the old value of the pointer

apr_atomic_dec32()

int apr_atomic_dec32

(

volatile apr_uint32_t *

mem

)

atomically decrement an apr_uint32_t by 1

Parameters

mem	pointer to the atomic value

Returns

zero if the value becomes zero on decrement, otherwise non-zero

apr_atomic_dec64()

int apr_atomic_dec64

(

volatile apr_uint64_t *

mem

)

atomically decrement an apr_uint64_t by 1

Parameters

mem	pointer to the atomic value

Returns

zero if the value becomes zero on decrement, otherwise non-zero

apr_atomic_inc32()

apr_uint32_t apr_atomic_inc32

(

volatile apr_uint32_t *

mem

)

atomically increment an apr_uint32_t by 1

Parameters

mem	pointer to the object

Returns

old value pointed to by mem

apr_atomic_inc64()

apr_uint64_t apr_atomic_inc64

(

volatile apr_uint64_t *

mem

)

atomically increment an apr_uint64_t by 1

Parameters

mem	pointer to the object

Returns

old value pointed to by mem

apr_atomic_init()

apr_status_t apr_atomic_init

(

apr_pool_t *

p

)

this function is required on some platforms to initialize the atomic operation's internal structures

Parameters

p

pool

Returns

APR_SUCCESS on successful completion

Remarks

Programs do NOT need to call this directly. APR will call this automatically from apr_initialize().
