zmq_atomic_counter_set(3) ========================= 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; ---- SEE ALSO -------- linkzmq:zmq_atomic_counter_new[3] linkzmq:zmq_atomic_counter_inc[3] linkzmq:zmq_atomic_counter_dec[3] linkzmq:zmq_atomic_counter_value[3] linkzmq:zmq_atomic_counter_destroy[3] AUTHORS ------- This page was written by the 0MQ community.
