zmq_atomic_counter_value3

Return value of atomic counter

Usage

int zmq_atomic_counter_value (void *counter);

Overview

The zmq_atomic_counter_value function returns the value of an atomic counter created by zmq_atomic_counter_new(). This function uses platform specific atomic operations.

Return value

The zmq_atomic_counter_value() function returns the value of the atomic counter. If counter does not point to an atomic counter created by zmq_atomic_counter_new(), the behaviour is undefined.

Examples

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;
