raw

Not sequenced. Corresponds to LLVM AtomicOrdering.Monotonic and C++11/C11 memory_order_relaxed.

acq

Hoist-load + hoist-store barrier. Corresponds to LLVM AtomicOrdering.Acquire and C++11/C11 memory_order_acquire.

rel

Sink-load + sink-store barrier. Corresponds to LLVM AtomicOrdering.Release and C++11/C11 memory_order_release.

acq_rel

Acquire + release barrier. Corresponds to LLVM AtomicOrdering.AcquireRelease and C++11/C11 memory_order_acq_rel.

seq

Fully sequenced (acquire + release). Corresponds to LLVM AtomicOrdering.SequentiallyConsistent and C++11/C11 memory_order_seq_cst.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted T atomicLoad(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref const T val)

if (!hasUnsharedIndirections!T);

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted TailShared!T atomicLoad(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref const shared T val)
if (hasUnsharedIndirections!T);

Loads 'val' from memory and returns it. The memory barrier specified by 'ms' is applied to the operation, which is fully sequenced by default. Valid memory orders are MemoryOrder.raw, MemoryOrder.acq, and MemoryOrder.seq.

Parameters:

T val

The target variable.

Returns:

The value of 'val'.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted void atomicStore(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(ref T val, V newval)
if (!is(T == shared) && !is(V == shared));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted void atomicStore(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(ref shared T val, V newval)
if (!is(T == class));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted void atomicStore(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(ref shared T val, shared V newval)
if (is(T == class));

Writes 'newval' into 'val'. The memory barrier specified by 'ms' is applied to the operation, which is fully sequenced by default. Valid memory orders are MemoryOrder.raw, MemoryOrder.rel, and MemoryOrder.seq.

Parameters:

T val	The target variable.
V newval	The value to store.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted T atomicFetchAdd(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref T val, size_t mod)
if ((__traits(isIntegral, T) || is(T == U*, U)) && !is(T == shared));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted T atomicFetchAdd(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref shared T val, size_t mod)
if (__traits(isIntegral, T) || is(T == U*, U));

Atomically adds mod to the value referenced by val and returns the value val held previously. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T val	Reference to the value to modify.
size_t mod	The value to add.

Returns:

The value held previously by val.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted T atomicFetchSub(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref T val, size_t mod)

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted T atomicFetchSub(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T)(ref shared T val, size_t mod)
if (__traits(isIntegral, T) || is(T == U*, U));

Atomically subtracts mod from the value referenced by val and returns the value val held previously. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T val	Reference to the value to modify.
size_t mod	The value to subtract.

Returns:

The value held previously by val.

if (!is(T == shared) && !is(V == shared));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted TailShared!T atomicExchange(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(shared(T)* here, V exchangeWith)
if (!is(T == class) && !is(T == interface));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted shared(T) atomicExchange(MemoryOrder ms = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(shared(T)* here, shared(V) exchangeWith)
if (is(T == class) || is(T == interface));

Exchange exchangeWith with the memory referenced by here. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T* here	The address of the destination variable.
V exchangeWith	The value to exchange.

Returns:

The value held previously by here.

template cas(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq)

Performs either compare-and-set or compare-and-swap (or exchange).

There are two categories of overloads in this template: The first category does a simple compare-and-set. The comparison value (ifThis) is treated as an rvalue.

The second category does a compare-and-swap (a.k.a. compare-and-exchange), and expects ifThis to be a pointer type, where the previous value of here will be written.

This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T* here	The address of the destination variable.
V2 writeThis	The value to store.
V1 ifThis	The comparison value.

Returns:

true if the store occurred, false if not.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V1, V2)(T* here, V1 ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == shared) && is(T : V1));

Compare-and-set for non-shared values

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, V1 ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == class) && (is(T : V1) || is(shared(T) : V1)));

Compare-and-set for shared value type

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, shared(V1) ifThis, shared(V2) writeThis)
if (is(T == class));

Compare-and-set for shared reference type (class)

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V)(T* here, T* ifThis, V writeThis)
if (!is(T == shared) && !is(V == shared));

Compare-and-exchange for non-shared types

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, V1* ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == class) && (is(T : V1) || is(shared(T) : V1)));

Compare and exchange for mixed-sharedness types

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool cas(T, V)(shared(T)* here, shared(T)* ifThis, shared(V) writeThis)
if (is(T == class));

Compare-and-exchange for class

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V1, V2)(T* here, V1 ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == shared) && is(T : V1));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, V1 ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == class) && (is(T : V1) || is(shared(T) : V1)));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, shared(V1) ifThis, shared(V2) writeThis)
if (is(T == class));

Stores 'writeThis' to the memory referenced by 'here' if the value referenced by 'here' is equal to 'ifThis'. The 'weak' version of cas may spuriously fail. It is recommended to use casWeak only when cas would be used in a loop. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T* here	The address of the destination variable.
V2 writeThis	The value to store.
V1 ifThis	The comparison value.

Returns:

true if the store occurred, false if not.

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(T* here, T* ifThis, V writeThis)
if (!is(T == shared(S), S) && !is(V == shared(U), U));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, V1* ifThis, V2 writeThis)
if (!is(T == class) && (is(T : V1) || is(shared(T) : V1)));

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted bool casWeak(MemoryOrder succ = MemoryOrder.seq, MemoryOrder fail = MemoryOrder.seq, T, V)(shared(T)* here, shared(T)* ifThis, shared(V) writeThis)
if (is(T == class));

Stores 'writeThis' to the memory referenced by 'here' if the value referenced by 'here' is equal to the value referenced by 'ifThis'. The prior value referenced by 'here' is written to ifThis and returned to the user. The 'weak' version of cas may spuriously fail. It is recommended to use casWeak only when cas would be used in a loop. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:

T* here	The address of the destination variable.
V writeThis	The value to store.
T* ifThis	The address of the value to compare, and receives the prior value of here as output.

Returns:

true if the store occurred, false if not.

pure nothrow @nogc @safe void atomicFence(MemoryOrder order = MemoryOrder.seq)();

Inserts a full load/store memory fence (on platforms that need it). This ensures that all loads and stores before a call to this function are executed before any loads and stores after the call.

pure nothrow @nogc @safe void pause();

Gives a hint to the processor that the calling thread is in a 'spin-wait' loop, allowing to more efficiently allocate resources.

pure nothrow @nogc @safe TailShared!T atomicOp(string op, T, V1)(ref shared T val, V1 mod)
if (__traits(compiles, mixin("*cast(T*)&val" ~ op ~ "mod")));

Performs the binary operation 'op' on val using 'mod' as the modifier.

Parameters:

T val	The target variable.
V1 mod	The modifier to apply.

Returns:

The result of the operation.
