ZMQ_ATOMIC_COUNTER_N(3) 0MQ Manual ZMQ_ATOMIC_COUNTER_N(3) NAME zmq_atomic_counter_new - create a new atomic counter SYNOPSIS void *zmq_atomic_counter_new (void); DESCRIPTION The zmq_atomic_counter_new function creates a new atomic counter. You can use this in multithreaded applications to do, for example, reference counting of shared objects. The atomic counter is at least 32 bits large. This function uses platform specific atomic operations. RETURN VALUE The zmq_atomic_counter_new() function returns the new atomic counter if successful. Otherwise it returns NULL. EXAMPLE Test code for atomic counters. void *counter = zmq_atomic_counter_new (); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 0); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 0); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 2); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 3); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0); zmq_atomic_counter_set (counter, 2); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0); zmq_atomic_counter_destroy (&counter); return 0; SEE ALSO zmq_atomic_counter_set(3) zmq_atomic_counter_inc(3) zmq_atomic_counter_dec(3) zmq_atomic_counter_value(3) zmq_atomic_counter_destroy(3) AUTHORS This page was written by the 0MQ community.
