module AtomicBool: sig .. end
Atomic containers for bool values.
type
The type of atomic containers for bool values.
val make : bool -> t
Returns a new container holding the passed value.
val compare_and_set : t -> bool -> bool -> bool
compare_and_set a e u atomically sets the value of a to u if
the current value is e. Returns whether the value of a was equal
to e.
val get : t -> bool
Returns the current value.
val get_and_set : t -> bool -> bool
get_and_set a x atomically sets the value of a to x, and
returns the previous value.
val lazy_set : t -> bool -> unit
lazy_set a x eventually sets the value of a to x.
val set : t -> bool -> unit
set a x sets the value of a to x.
val weak_compare_and_set : t -> bool -> bool -> bool
Similar to compare_and_set, with a weak semantics: may be
faster on some platforms, but does not provide ordering guarantees.
