NAME

zmq_atomic_counter_set - set atomic counter to new value

SYNOPSIS

void zmq_atomic_counter_set (void *counter, int value);

DESCRIPTION

The zmq_atomic_counter_set function sets the counter to a new value, in a threadsafe fashion. The largest value that is guaranteed to work across all platforms is 2^31-1. This function uses platform specific atomic operations.

RETURN VALUE

The zmq_atomic_counter_set() function has no return value.

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;
