- What does atomic mean in programming? - Stack Overflow
22 Atomic vs Non-Atomic Operations "An operation acting on shared memory is atomic if it completes in a single step relative to other threads When an atomic store is performed on a shared memory, no other thread can observe the modification half-complete
- c++ - What exactly is std::atomic? - Stack Overflow
Objects of atomic types are the only C++ objects that are free from data races; that is, if one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order
- c++ - the gist behind atomic shared pointer - Stack Overflow
At least atomic<shared_ptr<T>> gives you per-object locking, instead of a single lock for the whole stack So multiple threads can be waiting for different locks if multiple pops start in parallel
- Is there a difference between the _Atomic type qualifier and type . . .
Why the standard make that difference? It seems as both designate, in the same way, an atomic type
- What are atomic types in the C language? - Stack Overflow
I remember I came across certain types in the C language called atomic types, but we have never studied them So, how do they differ from regular types like int,float,double,long etc , and what are
- sql - What is atomicity in dbms - Stack Overflow
The definition of atomic is hazy; a value that is atomic in one application could be non-atomic in another For a general guideline, a value is non-atomic if the application deals with only a part of the value Eg: The current Wikipedia article on First NF (Normal Form) section Atomicity actually quotes from the introductory parts above
- c++ - What is the difference between load store relaxed atomic and . . .
11 The difference is that a normal load store is not guaranteed to be tear-free, whereas a relaxed atomic read write is Also, the atomic guarantees that the compiler doesn't rearrange or optimise-out memory accesses in a similar fashion to what volatile guarantees (Pre-C++11, volatile was an essential part of rolling your own atomics
- When do I really need to use atomic lt;bool gt; instead of bool?
You need atomic<bool> to avoid race-conditions A race-condition occurs if two threads access the same memory location, and at least one of them is a write operation If your program contains race-conditions, the behavior is undefined
