InterlockedXor64 function (winnt.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Performs an atomic XOR operation on the specified LONGLONG values. The function prevents more than one thread from using the same variable simultaneously.

Syntax

LONG64 InterlockedXor64(
  [in, out] LONG64 volatile *Destination,
  [in]      LONG64          Value
);

Parameters

[in, out] Destination

A pointer to the first operand. This value will be replaced with the result of the operation.

[in] Value

The second operand.

Return value

The function returns the original value of the Destination 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 _InterlockedXor64.

This function generates a full memory barrier (or fence) to ensure that memory operations are completed in order.

Itanium-based systems: For performance-critical applications, use InterlockedXor64Acquire or InterlockedXor64Release instead.

Note This function is supported on Windows RT-based systems.
