Unigine::AtomicLockFreeAlign Class

AtomicLockFreeAlign Class

Members

---

AtomicLockFreeAlign ( ) #

Default constructor.

AtomicLockFreeAlign ( Type v ) #

Constructor. Initializes the value by copying the binary representation of the provided value.

Arguments

• Type v - Initial value.

AtomicLockFreeAlign ( const AtomicLockFreeAlign& v ) #

Copy constructor. Initializes the object by copying the raw value from another atomic object, ensuring atomic consistency.

Arguments

• const AtomicLockFreeAlign& v

Type operator Type() ( ) const#

Implicitly converts the AtomicLockFreeAlign object to a value of type Type. Internally calls fetch() to return a thread-safe snapshot of the current value.

Return value

Returns copy of the current value.

RawType & getUnsafeRawValue ( ) #

Provides direct, non-synchronized access to the internal raw value. Calling this bypasses all thread safety and must only be used when external synchronization is guaranteed by the caller.

Return value

Returns a reference to the internal raw value.

const RawType & getUnsafeRawValue ( ) const#

Const-qualified version of getUnsafeRawValue(). Provides read-only, non-thread-safe access to the stored value.

Return value

Returns a const reference to the internal raw value.

RawType * getRawValuePtr ( ) #

Returns a pointer to the internal raw value.

Return value

Returns a pointer to the internal raw value.

const RawType * getRawValuePtr ( ) const#

Const-qualified version of getRawValuePtr(). Provides read-only, non-thread-safe access to the stored value.

Return value

Returns a const pointer to the internal raw value.

Type & getUnsafeValue ( ) #

Provides direct, non-synchronized access to the internal logical value, reinterpreted from the raw data. Unsafe in multithreaded contexts unless externally synchronized.

Return value

Returns non-thread-safe reference to the stored value.

const Type & getUnsafeValue ( ) const#

Const-qualified version of getUnsafeValue(). Provides read-only, non-thread-safe access to the stored value.

Return value

Returns non-thread-safe const reference to the stored value.

Type * getValuePtr ( ) #

Returns a raw pointer to the internal value, reinterpreted from the raw data. Unsafe in multithreaded contexts unless externally synchronized.

Return value

Returns pointer to the internal value.

const Type * getValuePtr ( ) const#

Const-qualified version of getValuePtr(). Provides read-only, non-thread-safe access to the stored value.

Return value

Returns const pointer to the internal value.

Type fetch ( ) const#

Retrieves the current value in a lock-free, thread-safe manner. Performs an atomic read of the raw internal storage and reinterprets the result.

Return value

Returns copy of the stored value.

void store ( Type v ) #

Stores a new value by writing its raw binary representation atomically into internal storage.

Arguments

• Type v - The new value to store.

Type operator= ( Type v ) #

Copy assignment operator. Stores the new value atomically by calling store().

Arguments

• Type v - The new value to assign.

Return value

Returns the assigned value.

Type operator= ( const AtomicLockFreeRaw& v ) #

Copy assignment operator. Atomically replaces the internal value with the one from another atomic object.

Arguments

• const AtomicLockFreeRaw& v - Another atomic to copy from.

Return value

Returns the copied value.

Type swap ( Type v ) #

Atomically replaces the current value with a new one and returns the old value.

Arguments

• Type v - The new value to set.

Return value

Returns the value that was stored before swap.

bool compareAndSwap ( Type old_value, Type new_value ) #

Performs a lock-free compare-and-swap operation. If the current value equals old_value, it is replaced with new_value.

Arguments

• Type old_value - Expected current value.
• Type new_value - New value to assign if the current matches the expected.

Return value

Returns true if the internal value was updated; false if the current value did not match old_value.

void spinLock ( Type old_value, Type new_value ) #

Continuously attempts to atomically swap the value from old_value to new_value using compareAndSwap().

Arguments

• Type old_value - Expected current value.
• Type new_value - New value to assign if the current matches the expected.

void waitValue ( Type v ) #

Blocks the current thread in a spin loop until the internal value becomes equal to the provided one. Internally calls spinLock(v, v) and rechecks after each failure.

Arguments

• Type v - The value to wait for.
