Function

GLib-2.0GLibatomic_int_addSince 2.4

  • Atomically adds val to the value of atomic.

    Think of this operation as an atomic version of { tmp = *atomic; *atomic += val; return tmp; }.

    This call acts as a full compiler and hardware memory barrier.

    Before version 2.30, this function did not return a value (but g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add() did, and had the same meaning).

    While atomic has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile.

    Parameters

    • atomic: any

      a pointer to a gint or guint

    • val: number

      the value to add

    Returns number

    the value of atomic before the add, signed
