Sets a 32-bit variable to the specified value as an atomic operation. The operation is performed using acquire memory access semantics.
Syntax
LONG __cdecl InterlockedExchangeAcquire( __inout LONG volatile *Target, __in LONG Value );
Parameters
- Target [in, out]
-
A pointer to the value to be exchanged. The function sets this variable to Value, and returns its prior value.
- Value [in]
-
The value to be exchanged with the value pointed to by Target.
Return value
The function returns the initial value of the Target parameter.
Remarks
The interlocked functions provide a simple mechanism for synchronizing access to a variable that is shared by multiple threads. This function is atomic with respect to calls to other interlocked functions.
This function is implemented using a compiler intrinsic where possible. For more information, see the WinBase.h header file and _InterlockedExchange_acq.
This function is supported only on Itanium-based systems.
