Overview ¶
Package atomic provides low-level atomic memory primitives useful for implementing synchronization algorithms.
These functions require great care to be used correctly. Except for special, low-level applications, synchronization is better done with channels or the facilities of the sync package. Share memory by communicating; don't communicate by sharing memory.
The swap operation, implemented by the SwapT functions, is the atomic equivalent of:
old = *addr *addr = new return old
The compare-and-swap operation, implemented by the CompareAndSwapT functions, is the atomic equivalent of:
if *addr == old {
*addr = new
return true
}
return false
The add operation, implemented by the AddT functions, is the atomic equivalent of:
*addr += delta return *addr
The load and store operations, implemented by the LoadT and StoreT functions, are the atomic equivalents of "return *addr" and "*addr = val".

Functions ¶
func AddUint32 ¶
AddUint32 atomically adds delta to *addr and returns the new value. To subtract a signed positive constant value c from x, do AddUint32(&x, ^uint32(c-1)). In particular, to decrement x, do AddUint32(&x, ^uint32(0)).
func AddUint64 ¶
AddUint64 atomically adds delta to *addr and returns the new value. To subtract a signed positive constant value c from x, do AddUint64(&x, ^uint64(c-1)). In particular, to decrement x, do AddUint64(&x, ^uint64(0)).
func AddUintptr ¶
AddUintptr atomically adds delta to *addr and returns the new value.
func CompareAndSwapInt32 ¶
CompareAndSwapInt32 executes the compare-and-swap operation for an int32 value.
func CompareAndSwapInt64 ¶
CompareAndSwapInt64 executes the compare-and-swap operation for an int64 value.
func CompareAndSwapPointer ¶
CompareAndSwapPointer executes the compare-and-swap operation for a unsafe.Pointer value.
func CompareAndSwapUint32 ¶
CompareAndSwapUint32 executes the compare-and-swap operation for a uint32 value.

Notes ¶
Bugs ¶
On x86-32, the 64-bit functions use instructions unavailable before the Pentium MMX.
On non-Linux ARM, the 64-bit functions use instructions unavailable before the ARMv6k core.
On both ARM and x86-32, it is the caller's responsibility to arrange for 64-bit alignment of 64-bit words accessed atomically. The first word in a global variable or in an allocated struct or slice can be relied upon to be 64-bit aligned.
